ABSTRACT
Bacterial blight, a major disease in rice, poses a serious impact on rice production. In this study, a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross between the introduced japonica cultivar 'Maybelle' and the indica landrace 'Baiyeqiu' was used to investigate the pathogenicity of four pathogen races causing bacterial blight. The results showed that the pathogenicity of all the pathogen races exhibited continuous, transgressive distribution in the DH population. Moreover, strong correlations existed between every two pathogen races, with the correlation coefficients ranging from 0.3 to 0.6. A total of 12 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) distributed on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 12 were detected for rice bacterial blight, explaining 4.95% to 16.05% of the phenotype. Among these QTLs, a major QTL located in the interval RM6024-RM163 on chromosome 5 was detected in three pathogen races. In addition, the pyramiding of the positive alleles can apparently improve the rice resistance to bacterial blight. This study is of great significance for broadening the genetic resources with resistance to bacterial blight in China.

PURPOSE: Although the principles of hip reconstruction are consistent, due to lack of reliable anatomical landmarks, how to decide the acetabular cup reaming centre intraoperatively in Crowe IV patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains unclear. This study aims to address this question. METHODS: Fifty-eight Crowe IV patients were enrolled from 2017 to 2019. By examining our previous clinical data, we analyzed the anatomical morphology of Crowe IV acetabulum and proposed a method of locating intraoperative reaming centering for implantation of a standard-sized acetabular cup, which is the upper two thirds of the posterior border of the true acetabulum. All patients included in this study were reamed according to this method. The average postoperative follow-up was 4.1 years (3-5 years). The position of the centre of rotation (COR), cup coverage (CC), and optimal range of joint motion (ROM) were examined by 3D computer simulation measurement. Postoperative complications and hip Harris score were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: The morphology of the type IV DDH true acetabulum was mostly triangular. The intraoperative reaming centre were centered on the upper two thirds of the posterior border of the true acetabulum. The postoperative 3D CC was 80.20% ± 7.63% (64.68-90.24%, 44-48-mm cup size). The patients' mean Harris score improved from 39.7 ± 20.4 preoperatively to 91.5 ± 8.12 at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that satisfactory CC and clinical results could be achieved by implanting a standard-sized cup with the reaming centre on the upper two thirds of the posterior border of the true acetabulum.
