Abstract

To screen for new glutinous rice varieties suitable for cultivation in Hainan, characterized by high yield, multi-resistance, and specific suitability for zongzi (rice dumpling) production, this study conducted a field screening trial in Sanya, Hainan, using 20 new glutinous rice varieties. Genotypic identification was performed on each variety using 13 pairs of molecular markers for blast and bacterial blight resistance genes. A comprehensive evaluation was carried out on agronomic traits including yield characteristics, lodging resistance, and disease resistance. The results indicated that the indica glutinous rice variety Guiyunuo 198 exhibited moderate plant height, strong lodging resistance, and high yield, with a two-year average yield of 426.5 kg/667 m2, demonstrating good promotion potential. Another new variety, Guifengheinuo 166, rich in anthocyanins and suitable as a raw material for premium zongzi, showed a two-year average yield of 376.4 kg/667 m2, also indicating promising application prospects. Molecular marker analysis for disease resistance genes revealed that the blast resistance gene Pib had the highest distribution frequency at 71.43%, followed by Pikh, Pi5, and Pita, with detection rates of 42.86%, 42.86%, and 33.33%, respectively. The rice blast resistance genes Pi1 and Pit, as well as the bacterial leaf blight resistance genes Xa21 and Xa23, were not detected. This study successfully identified new glutinous rice varieties suitable for planting in Hainan and preliminarily clarified their resistance genetic background, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent resistance breeding.
