Dynamic analysis of QTLs on plant height with single segment substitution lines in rice.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic regulation of QTLs remains mysterious. Single segment substitution lines (SSSLs) and conditional QTL mapping and functional QTL mappings are ideal materials and methods to explore dynamics of QTLs for complex traits. This paper analyzed the dynamics of QTLs on plant height with SSSLs in rice. Five SSSLs were verified with plant height QTLs first. All five QTLs had significant positive effects at one or more developmental stages except QTL₁. They interacted each other, with negative effects before 49 d after transplanting and positive effects since then. The five QTLs selectively expressed in specific periods, mainly in the periods from 35 to 42 d and from 49 to 56 d after transplanting. Expressions of epistasis were dispersedly in various periods, negative effects appear
