The objective of this work was to determine the effect of male sterility or manual recombination on genetic variability of rice recurrent selection populations. The populations CNA-IRAT 4, with a gene for male sterility, and CNA 12, which was manually recombined, were evaluated. Genetic variability among selection cycles was estimated using14 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 926 plants were analyzed, including ten genitors and 180 individuals from each of the evaluated cycles (1, 2 and 5) of the population CNA-IRAT 4, and 16 genitors and 180 individuals from each of the cycles (1 and 2) of CNA 12. The analysis allowed the identification of alleles not present among the genitors for both populations, in all cycles, especially for the CNA-IRAT 4 population. These alleles resulted from unwanted fertilization with genotypes that were not originally part of the populations. The parameters of Wright's F-statistic (F IS and F IT) indicated that the manual recombination expands the genetic variability of the CNA 12 population, whereas male sterility reduces the one of CNA-IRAT 4.

Introduction
The recurrent selection population breeding method, first proposed by Hull (1945), consists of a cyclical and iterative process of selection, and of the subsequent recombination of the best families or progenies. This process provides, theoretically, a gradual increase in the frequency of favorable alleles in the population, with no reduction in genetic variability. The increased frequency of these alleles results in a higher probability of success in obtaining superior inbred lines (Borém & Miranda, 2005). Therefore, the choice of the genitors that will begin the population is of fundamental importance, since the future genetic gains will depend on the high combining ability of the genitors.
Châtel et al. (2008) described the recurrent selection breeding program for upland rice in 1996 and highlighted the development of broad-based genetic lines that were adapted to acid soils. In Brazil, recurrent selection programs began in 1990 with the development of the CNA-IRAT 4 population, through a partnership between Cirad, France, and Embrapa Arroz e Feijão, GO, Brazil. This population was obtained using the gene for male sterility, which allows recombination in the field without the need for manual crosses. It was initiated by the interbreeding of ten cultivars/lines used in irrigated cultivation systems, and resulted in the world's first cultivar derived from recurrent selection originally named SCS-BRS Tio Taka, released in 2002 (Rangel et al., 2007). Other populations from irrigated cultivation systems were obtained later, such as CNA 1 in 1991, CNA 5 in 1993, CNA 11 in 1996, and CNA 12 (also used in the present study) in 2002 (Rangel & Neves, 1997; Rangel et al., 2003).
The monitoring of genetic variability among generations of recurrent selection populations is based on the calculation of genetic gains. Despite being an essential parameter, this estimate is not able to indicate whether the procedures adopted to conduct the population facilitate the occurrence of new combinations or whether the genetic variability is being exhausted by the intensity of selection or simply by drift resulting from preferential mating (Courtois et al., 2003). The use of molecular markers allows for the tracking of the number and frequency of alleles, which determinate the population parameters that can increase the genetic gains in populations of recurrent selection (Ferreira et al., 2000). Among the molecular markers, microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSR) stand out for their high information content, co-dominance, large number of loci available for rice, and ability to be amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Semagn et al., 2006). SSR markers have been used to monitor the genetic variability over cycles of recurrent selection in crops like rice (Ramis et al., 2003), wheat (Liu et al., 2007), barley (Emebiri, 2010), and maize (Wisser et al., 2008). However, the utility of molecular markers to monitor the genetic variability and to administrate the allele variation among cycles of recurrent selection populations still needs to be assessed for rice.
The objective of this work was to determine the genetic variability of the recurrent selection populations CNA-IRAT 4, with a gene for male sterility, and CNA 12, which was manually recombined, as well as to evaluate the effect of manual or male-sterility recombination on genetic variability.
Materials and Methods
The CNA-IRAT 4 population of rice (Oryza sativa L.) was recombined in the field through the male sterility gene. The ten parents that initiated this population (BG 90-2, CNA 7, CNA 3815, CNA 3848, CNA 3887, Colombia 1, Eloni, Nanicão, UPR 103, and IR-36) and the 180 individuals from each of the assessed cycles (1, 2 and 5) were evaluated. These individuals were derived from S0 seeds, resulting from the previous cycle of recombination (S0:1 seeds from male-sterile plants).
In order to evaluate the CNA 12 population, which was manually recombined in greenhouse, the 16 parents that initiated this population (BRS Formoso, Oryzica-1, Chui, CNAi 9020, CNA 5287, CNA 8621, Oryzica Lhanos-4, IRGA 417, CNAi 9029, Java, Jequitiba, Taim, Diamante, CNA 8502, Maraj, and Huan-Sen-Go) and the 180 individuals from each of the cycles (1 and 2) were analyzed. These individuals were derived from F2 plant seeds, which resulted from one selfing of hybrid plants manually recombined. The seeds of 26 genitors and 360 individual plants from recurrent selection cycles were germinated and, after 20 days, harvested and stored at -20ºC.
Samples of leaf tissue from each plantlet were used for DNA extraction according to Doyle & Doyle (1987). Seventeen SSRs loci (Table 1) were chosen for genotyping, based on their high information content and pattern resolution on acrylamide gels, and 14 loci were used for each population. Amplification reactions were performed in a final volume of 15 μL containing 1.4 μL of Milli-Q autoclaved water, 1.5 μL of 10X buffer (with final concentration of 10 mmol L-1 Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 50 mmol L-1 KCl, and 1.5 mmol L-1 MgCl2), 1.3 μL of dNTP (2.5 mmol L-1), 1.3 μL of DMSO (final concentration of 50%), 0.2 μL of Taq polymerase (five units per μL), 4.3 μL of primer (0.9 mmol L-1), and 1.0 μL of genomic DNA (3.0 ng μL-1). The reactions were conducted in a thermocycler PT-100 thermal controller (MJ Research, Watertown, MA, USA), with the following steps: a pre-cycle of 96°C for 2 min followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 1 min, 56°C for 1 min, 72°C for 1 min, and a final step of 72°C for 7 min. Electrophoresis of the amplified products was performed on 6% denaturing polyacrylamide gels (containing 7.0 mol L-1 of urea), stained with silver nitrate, following the protocol described by Creste et al. (2001).
The apparent outcrossing rate (ta) was calculated by the formula ta = (1 - f)/(1 + f), in which f is the inbreeding coefficient previously described by Cockerham (1969).
Wright's F-statistics was calculated using the formula: 1 - FIT = (1 - FIS) × (1 - FST), in which FIT is the fixation index or inbreeding coefficient for all the populations due to the reproductive system and subdivision; FIS is the setting or population inbreeding coefficient due to the reproductive system; and FST is the fixation index or inbreeding coefficient among populations due to the subdivision.
The number of alleles per locus and the estimation of genetic diversity (He) were calculated using the program GDA (Lewis & Zaykin, 2002). The inbreeding coefficient (f) and Wright's F-statistics (Wright, 1965) were determined using the Powermarker software (Liu & Muse, 2004).
Results and Discussion
Based on the number of parental alleles, which were not sampled in one cycle but reappeared in the next one, results indicated that 93 to 94% of the alleles of the parents were sampled every cycle, which is sufficient for assessing the genetic variability over the cycles. The total number of alleles from the genitors of the CNA-IRAT 4 population decreased continuously from cycles 1 through 5, showing that the process of recombination and selection of individuals leads to the loss of allelic variability (Table 2). This may be related to the increase in the frequency of the best-fit alleles or to the presence, during recombination in the field, of a group of plants that were taller or had a higher pollen production, which allowed a better dispersion of pollen.
Estimates of the ta were higher for the CNA-IRAT 4 population, although stabilized between cycles 2 and 5 (Table 3). Contrarily, there was a considerable increase in the ta in just one cycle of recombination in the CNA 12 population, which indicates that the planned recombination between families contributed to the reduction of inbreeding in this population and, consequently, to an increase in the ta.
In the CNA-IRAT 4 population, 105 alleles were identified (average of 7.5 alleles per locus). Among the genitors, 74 alleles were detected (average of five alleles per locus) (Table 2). In cycles 1, 2 and 5, a total of 71 (average of 5.07 alleles per locus), 79 (average of 5.64 alleles per locus), and 73 alleles (average of 5.28 alleles per locus) were found, respectively. The values for the genetic variability estimates (He) for the genitors ranged from 0.91 (marker OG17) to 0.44 (RM223), with an average of 0.70. The first cycle ranged from 0.79 (RM224) to 0.18 (RM38), with an average of 0.57; the second cycle ranged from 0.78 (RM224) to 0.12 (RM38), with an average of 0.54; and the fifth cycle ranged from 0.76 (RM09) to 0.20 (RM38), with an average of 0.54.
In the CNA 12 population, 95 alleles were identified (average of 6.7 alleles per locus) (Table 4). Among the genitors, 83 alleles (average of 5.93 alleles per locus) were detected, whereas in cycles 1 and 2, a total of 76 (average of 5.43 alleles per locus) and 87 alleles (average of 6.21 alleles per locus) were found, respectively. The He values ranged from 0.84 (RM224) to 0.47 (OG07) for the genitors, with an average of 0.68. In the first cycle, the He values ranged from 0.78 (OG17 and RM224) to 0.4 (RM38), with an average of 0.59; and, in the second cycle, the values ranged from 0.78 (OG17) to 0.36 (RM247), with an average of 0.57. The genitors from each population showed a higher He average in comparison to those from the subsequent recurrent selection cycles, which showed little average variation as a result of the natural fluctuations in the number and frequency of alleles detected over the cycles.
The values for the number of alleles per locus obtained in the CNA-IRAT 4 and CNA 12 populations were similar to the averages found in other rice populations of recurrent selection. For example, the CNA 7 population, which was developed through the use of male sterility, showed averages of 5.3 and 5.0 alleles per locus for cycles 0 and 2, respectively, through the genotyping of 96 individuals per cycle using ten SSR markers (Badan et al., 2005). The recurrent selection population PFD-1, developed in Venezuela and recombined in the field using the male-sterility gene, was also analyzed by SSRs, and similar values were found using ten markers in 92 individuals per cycle, with an average of 5.3 and 4.6 alleles per locus for cycles 0 and 2, respectively (Ramis et al., 2003). In another study, seven SSR markers were used to genotype 55 individuals in cycle 0 and 60 individuals in cycle 3, of the CNA 5 recurrent selection population, resulting in 5.14 and 4.5 alleles per locus, respectively (Ferreira et al., 2000). The similar averages found in the different cycles and populations indicate that recurrent selection populations preserve a sufficient number of alleles per locus, which is necessary for obtaining new allelic combinations and, consequently, for increasing the chances of obtaining individuals with superior agronomic performance.
Alleles not previously detected in the genitors of both recurrent selection populations were observed. Thirty one alien alleles (29.5% of the total alleles detected) were sampled for the CNA-IRAT 4 population: 12 were found in cycle 1, 20 in cycle 2, and 15 in cycle 5 (Table 5). Only markers RM38 and RM247 did not detect alien alleles. The highest number of alien alleles (five alleles each) was detected by the RM207 and RM11 markers, when considering the three analyzed cycles. Despite their low frequency, these alleles could be detected in subsequent cycles, including unexpected alleles 126 and 160 (marker OG07) in cycles 1 and 2, which were not detected in cycle 5. Some alleles also increased their frequency in the population, such as allele 128 (marker RM11). Allele 146 (RM11) was detected in cycles 1 and 5, but not in cycle 2, most likely due to the number of individuals sampled. Nine unexpected alleles continued from cycle 1 through cycle 2 but were not detected in cycle 5, whereas four alien alleles were maintained over the three evaluated cycles (OG61, RM11, RM207, and RM224). Twelve unexpected alleles were detected in cycle 2 and seven remained until cycle 5. In cycle 5, eight alleles that had not been previously detected in cycles 1 and 2 were identified. The detection of alien alleles indicates that the recombination in CNA-IRAT 4 included these alien alleles, which were not present in the genitors and could potentially be fixed in the population, undermining the objective to fix the best fit alleles from the genitors.
The occurrence of unexpected alleles in the CNA 12 population was less frequent than in the CNA-IRAT 4 population. In total, 12 alien alleles were detected in cycles 1 and 2 (12.63% of the total alleles detected) (Table 6). The unexpected alleles detected in the manually recombined CNA 12 population may have been derived from a controlled pollination failure during or resulting from cross-pollination in the field either for obtaining F2 plants or for the evaluation and selection of the F2:3 or F2:4 families. In a study of recurrent selection in two maize populations, in which the progenies were analyzed by RFLP and SSR markers, alien alleles were detected at a ratio of approximately 10% of the last analyzed cycles (Falke et al., 2007).
Cultivated rice is predominantly self-pollinating, with a low percentage of natural cross-pollination, typically less than 1%, which can be higher, for example, between adjacent panicles that are in physical contact (Reaño & Pham, 1998). The results found here showed that, regardless of the method used for recombination (manual or male-sterility), the occurrence of alien alleles is a reality in recurrent selection. The identification of individuals with alien alleles during the recombination step would allow the elimination of those genotypes, maintaining only the individuals with parental alleles. In both of the analyzed populations, alien alleles were detected in all evaluated cycles. In CNA-IRAT 4, the alien alleles were identified in 149 individuals (83.33%) in cycle 5. The high number of unexpected alleles in the CNA-IRAT 4 population may be primarily attributed to fertilization with pollen of rice plants cultivated in adjacent areas during the recombination step. In contrast, the CNA 12 population showed 14 individuals with alien alleles (7.78%) in cycle 2. To avoid unexpected alleles in CNA 12, special care should be taken during manual crossing.
The loss of genetic variability or an increase in inbreeding could be estimated by Wright's F-statistic, which is able to measure the effects of the fragmentation of the population (FST) and of the reproductive system (FIS) (Brondani et al., 2005). In the CNA-IRAT 4 population, the FST values of the genitors and individuals in the cycles were always higher than or equal to the FIS values, indicating that inbreeding was mainly due to subdivision, i.e., resulting from preferential crosses between certain groups of individuals (Slatkin, 1995). In addition, a higher differentiation between cycles was observed in this population, as the variation of FST was higher among the group of genitors and the last cycle (Table 7), indicating a tendency towards differentiation between the genitors and the progeny. The CNA 12 population differed from CNA-IRAT 4, since the FST and FIS values declined between the genitors and cycle 2 (Table 7).
The value of total inbreeding (FIT) of the CNA-IRAT 4 population increased over the cycles, when compared to the genitors, in spite of the presence of alien alleles. The FIT values of cycles 1 and 2 of CNA 12 declined in comparison to the inbreeding of the genitors. This indicates that the manual recombination is broadening the genetic variability in this population. The calculated values for FIS within each cycle showed that the CNA-IRAT 4 and CNA 12 populations are going in opposite directions: while the number of heterozygous loci decreased with the progression of cycles in CNA-IRAT 4, this number increased due to the manual crosses in CNA 12. The deficit in the number of heterozygous SSR loci was also observed in the CNA 7 and PFD-1 (recombined using a male-sterility gene) populations (Badan et al., 2005). According to Ramis et al. (2003), the reduced number of heterozygous loci may be attributed to the existence of preferred crossings, few opportunities for recombination in the base population or the presence of some degree of inbreeding within the population. Planned crosses, despite the need for an increase in the workforce, are recommended because they ensure the allelic recombination of all genitors.
Conclusions
1. Based on SSR marker analysis, the CNA-IRAT 4 and CNA 12 populations are established from parents of a broad genetic basis.
2. In both populations, alleles that did not originate from the genitors are present.
3. Manual recombination is expanding the genetic variability of the CNA 12 population, whereas recombination using the male-sterility gene is reducing the genetic variability of the CNA-IRAT 4 population.
