Mapping novel QTLs for yield related traits from a popular rice hybrid KRH-2 derived doubled haploid (DH) population.

ABSTRACT: A doubled haploid (DH) population consisting of 125 DHLs derived from the popular rice hybrid, KRH-2 (IR58025A/KMR3R) was utilized for Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping to identify novel genomic regions associated with yield related traits. A genetic map was constructed with 126 polymorphic SSR and EST derived markers, which were distributed across rice genome. QTL analysis using inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) method identified a total of 24 major and minor effect QTLs. Among them, twelve major effect QTLs were identified for days to fifty percent flowering (qDFF12-1), total grain yield/plant (qYLD3-1 and qYLD6-1), test (1,000) grain weight (qTGW6-1 and qTGW7-1), panicle weight (qPW9-1), plant height (qPH12-1), flag leaf len
