Abstract
- Y900 is one of the top hybrid rice varieties with a yield exceeding 15 t/hm2. To dissect the mechanism of heterosis, the male parent line R900 and female parent line Y58S were sequenced using long-read and Hi-C technology. High-quality reference genomes of sizes of 396.41 Mb and 398.24 Mb were obtained for R900 and Y58S, respectively. Genome-wide variations between the parents were systematically identified, including 1,367,758 SNPs and 299,149 Indels. No megabase level structural variations exist. >75% of genes exhibited variation between the two parents. Compared with other two-line hybrids sharing the same female parent, the Geng/japonica-type genetic components from different male parents showed an increasing trend from phase 2-4 super-hybrid rice; Transcriptome analysis revealed that additive and dominance effects are the main genetic effects that constitute the heterosis of Y900. Allele-specific expression patterns and expression regulation patterns are quite dynamic in different tissues. For young panicle tissues, cis-regulation is dominant, while trans-regulation is more popular in leaf issues. Overdominance is more likely regulated by the trans-regulation mechanism. The differential gene expression and regulation pattern are closely related to Geng/japonica introgression. Additionally, R900 contained several excellent japonica haplotypes, such as NAL1, OsSPL13, Ghd8, OsBRI1, and DTH2, which make a good complement to Y58S. The fine tune mechanism through dynamic expression or regulation pattern change, especially on some key functional genes, is the base for heterosis.
