Abstract:

Grain shape is one of the important factors determining rice yield and grain quality, it is a typical quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes. As novel research material, chromosome single segment substitution lines are useful in QTL identification because of minimizing the interference of genetic background among plants. In this study, QTLs for grain shape were identified with 119 rice chromosome single segment substitution lines derived from Nipponbare as donor parentin the background of Guanglu’ai 4 by one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett’s test for means comparisons between chromosome single segment substitution lines and the recipient parent Guanglu’ai 4.A total of 39 QTLs for grain shape were identified on 11 chromosomes except chromosome 10 with a significance of P≤0.001. Among them, 19 QTLs were identified for grain length, with the additive effect from 0.18 mm to 1.06 mm and the additive effect percentages from 2.40% to 14.13%; 14 QTLs were identified for grain width, with the additive effect from 0.09 mm to 0.31 mm and the additive effect percentages from 2.71% to 9.15%; and 6 QTLs were identified for grain thickness, with the additive effect from 0.05 mm to 0.10 mm and the additive effect percentages from 2.14% to 4.46%. The results are important for the QTLs cloning and molecular breeding of rice grain shape.
