Abstract
Aroma is one of the most important quality traits of basmati rice (Oryza sativa L) that leads to high consumer acceptance. Earlier three significant QTLs for aroma, namely aro3-1, aro4-1 and aro8-1, have been mapped on rice chromosomes 3, 4 and 8, respectively, using a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Pusa 1121 (a basmati quality variety) and Pusa 1342 (a non-aromatic variety). For fine mapping of these QTLs, 184 F6 RILs were grown in the Kharif season of 2005 at New Delhi and Karnal, India. A total of 115 new SSR markers covering the three QTL intervals were designed and screened for parental polymorphism. Of these, 26 markers were polymorphic between parents, eight for the interval aro3-1, eight for the interval aro4-1 and ten for the interval aro8-1, thus enriching the density of SSR markers in these QTL intervals. Revised genetic maps were constructed by adding 23 of these new markers to the earlier map, by giving physical order of the markers in the pseudomolecules a preference. In the revised maps, the interval for QTL aro4-1 could not be improved further but QTL aro3-1 was narrowed down to an interval of 390 kbp from the earlier reported interval of 8.6 Mbp and similarly the QTL aro8-1 was narrowed down to a physical interval of 430 kbp. The numbers of candidate genes in the aro3-1 and aro8-1 intervals have now been reduced to 51 and 66, respectively. The badh2 gene on chromosome 8 was not associated with the aroma QTL on this chromosome.
