LID - 10.3390/plants12040892 [doi] LID - 892 AB - Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and HQTL (heterosis QTLs) for grain shape are two major genetic factors of grain yield and quality in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Although many QTLs for grain shape have been reported, only a few are applied in production. In this study, 54 QTLs for grain shape were detected on 10 chromosomes using 33 SSSLs (single-segment substitution lines) and methods of statistical genetics. Among these, 23 exhibited significant positive additive genetic effects, including some novel QTLs, among which qTGW4-(1,2), qTGW10-2, and qTGW10-3 were three QTLs newly found in this study and should be paid more attention. Moreover, 26 HQTLs for grain shape were probed. Eighteen of these exhibited significant positive dominant genetic effects. Thirty-three QTLs for grain shape were further mapped using linkage analysis. Most of the QTLs for grain shape produced pleiotropic effects, which simultaneously controlled multiple appearance traits of grain shape. Linkage mapping of the F(2) population derived from sub-single-segment substitution lines further narrowed the interval harbouring qTGW10-3 to 75.124 kb between PSM169 and RM25753. The candidate gene was identified and could be applied to breeding applications by molecular marker-assisted selection. These identified QTLs for grain shape will offer additional insights for improving grain yield and quality in rice breeding.
