Abstract

Grain size affects the yield and quality of rice. The large grain line (LGL), showing a large grain size and japonica-like genome, was selected in the breeding field. The 94 F2 plants derived from a cross between LGL and Hanareum (a high-yielding tongil-type variety) were used for the quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and grain thickness (GT). A linkage map of the F2 population, covering 1312 cM for all 12 chromosomes, was constructed using 123 Fluidigm SNP markers. A total of nine QTLs for the three traits were detected on chromosomes two, three, four, six, and seven. Two QTLs for GL on chromosomes two and six explained 17.3% and 16.2% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. Two QTLs were identified for GW on chromosomes two and three, and explained 24.3% and 23.5% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. The five QTLs for GT detected on chromosomes two, three, five, six and seven, explained 13.2%, 14.5%, 16.6%, 10.9%, and 10.2% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. A novel QTL for GT, qGT2, was validated on the same region of chromosome two in the selected F3 population. The QTLs identified in this study, and LGL, could be applied to the development of large-grain rice varieties.
