Abstract Background: Grain shape affects not only rice yield but is also an important element in quality of appearance. However, the mechanism for inheritance of grain shape is unclear. Results: A rice chromosome segment substitution line Z1392, which harbors three substitution segments and produces grains of increased length, was identified. The three chromosome segments were located on chromosomes 1, 5, and 6, and the average length of the substitution segment was 4.29 Mb. Cytological analysis indicates that the predominant cause of increased grain length in Z1392 could be cell expansion in the glumes. 18 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for important agronomic traits were identified. The inheritance of grain length in Z1392 was controlled by two major QTLs, qGL-5 and qGL-6 . Finally, the qGL-6 was narrowed to a 1.26 Mb region on chromosome 6, and OsARF19 may be the candidate gene of qGL-6 . Based on QTL mapping, three single-segment substitution lines (S1, S2, and S3) and two double-segment substitution lines (D1 and D2) were selected, and the mapping accuracy for qGL-5 and qGL-6 was further verified using the three single-segment substitution lines. Analysis of QTL additive and epistatic effects revealed that the additive effect of alleles qGL5 and qGL6 from ‘Xihui 18’ was estimated to increase grain length of Z1392 by 0.22 and 0.15 mm, respectively. In addition, a positive epistatic interaction between qGL-5 and qGL-6 was detected, which indicates that the pyramiding of qGL-5 and qGL-6 for grain length produces a novel genotype with longer grains. Conclusions: Inheritance of grain length in the triple-segment substitution line Z1392 is controlled by two major QTLs, qGL-5 and qGL-6 , qGL-6 was narrowed to a 1.26 Mb region on chromosome 6, OsARF19 may be the candidate gene of qGL-6 . And a positive epistatic interaction between qGL-5 and qGL-6 results in longer grains. The present results could be used to facilitate cloning of the qGL-5 and qGL-6 genes and contribute to improvement in grain yield in rice.

Abstract Background Grain size affects not only rice yield but is also an important element in quality of appearance. However, the mechanism for inheritance of grain size is unclear. Results A rice chromosome segment substitution line Z1392, which harbors three substitution segments and produces grains of increased length, was identified. The three chromosome segments were located on chromosomes 1, 5, and 6, and the average length of the substitution segment was 3.17 Mb. Cytological analysis indicates that the predominant cause of increased grain length in Z1392 could be cell expansion in the glumes. Seven quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for grain size related traits were identified using the secondary F2 population produced by Nipponbare/Z1392. The inheritance of grain length in Z1392 was mainly controlled by two major QTLs, qGL-5 and qGL-6. qGL-6 was localized on a 1.26 Mb region on chromosome 6, and OsARF19 may be its candidate gene. Based on QTL mapping, three single-segment substitution lines (S1, S2, and S3) and two double-segment substitution lines (D1 and D2) were selected, and the mapping accuracy for qGL-5 and qGL-6 was further verified using three single-segment substitution lines.

Conclusions Inheritance of grain length in the triple-segment substitution line Z1392 is mainly controlled by two major QTLs, qGL-5 and qGL-6. qGL-6 was found to be located in a 1.26 Mb region on chromosome 6, and OsARF19 may be its candidate gene. A positive epistatic interaction between qGL-5 and qGL-6 results in longer grains.

Abstract Chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) in rice is important for functional analysis and design breeding of target genes. Here, a novel rice CSSL-Z431 was identified from indica restorer line Xihui18 as recipient and Huhan3 as donor. Z431 contained six segments from Huhan3, with an average substitution length of 2.12 Mb. Compared with Xihui18, Z431 increased panicles per plant (PN) and displayed short-wide grains. The short-wide grain of Z431 were caused by reducing of cell length and increasing of cell width in the glume. Then, thirteen QTLs were identified in a secondary F2 population derived from Xihui18/Z431. Among them, six QTLs (qPN3, qGL3, qGW5, qRLW2, qRLW3, qGWT-5-2) were validated by four single-segment substitution lines (SSSLs, S1-S4) developed in F3. In addition, thirteen QTLs (qPN1, qPN2, qPL1, qPL2, qGPP1, qGPP2, qGL2, qGW1, qGW2, qGW3, qRLW5-2, qRLW1, qGWT2) were detected by these SSSLs, while not be identified in the F2 population from Xihui18/Z431. Increase of panicles per plant in Z431 was controlled by qPN3, qPN1 and qPN2. OsIAGLU should be the candidate gene for qPN3 by DNA sequencing. The short-wide grain of Z431 was controlled by qGL3, qGL2, qGW5, qGW2 and qGW3. By sequencing between Xihui18 and according SSSL, three candidate genes for qGL3 and two candidate genes for qGW5 were identified, respectively. In addition, pyramid of different QTLs (qPN1and qPN3; qPN2 and qPN3 etc.) yielded different epistatic effects. These results lay good foundation in molecular mechanism analysis of unreported genes and rice molecular design breeding.
