Verification and evaluation of grain QTLs using RILs from TD70 x Kasalath in rice

Y. D. Zhang, Zheng, J., Liang, Z. K., Liang, Y. L., Peng, Z. H., and Wang, C. L., Verification and evaluation of grain QTLs using RILs from TD70 x Kasalath in rice, vol. 14, pp. 14882-14892, 2015.

Grain size is an important trait that directly influences the yield of rice. Validation and evaluation of grain genes is important in rice genetic studies and for breeding. In a population of 240 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between an extra-large grain japonica variety TD70 and a small grain indica variety Kasalath, we mapped 19 QTLs controlling grain traits. These QTLs included six cloned grain genes, namely, GW2, GS3, qSW5, qGL3, GS5, and GW8.
