| Sumario: | Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) is the primary food for half of the global population. Recently, there has been increasing concern in the rice industry regarding the eating and milling quality of rice. This study was conducted to identify genetic information for grain characteristics using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from a japonica/indica cross based on high-throughput SNP markers and to provide a strategy for improving rice quality. The RIL population used was derived from a cross of “Kaybonnet (KBNT <i>lpa</i>)” and “ZHE733” named the K/Z RIL population, consisting of 198 lines. A total of 4133 SNP markers were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with higher resolution and to identify more accurate candidate genes. The characteristics measured included grain length (GL), grain width (GW), grain length to width ratio (RGLW), hundred grain weight (HGW), and percent chalkiness (PC). QTL analysis was performed using QTL IciMapping software. Continuous distributions and transgressive segregations of all the traits were observed, suggesting that the traits were quantitatively inherited. A total of twenty-eight QTLs and ninety-two candidate genes related to rice grain characteristics were identified. This genetic information is important to develop rice varieties of high quality. |
