Fine Mapping of Two Major Quantitative Trait Loci for Rice Chalkiness With High Temperature-Enhanced Additive Effects.

ABSTRACT: Chalkiness is a crucial determinant of rice quality. During seed filling period, high temperature usually increases grain chalkiness, resulting in poor grain quality. Rice chalkiness was controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and influenced by environmental conditions. In this study, we identified two single-segment substitution lines (SSSLs) 22-05 and 15-06 with significantly lower percentage of grain chalkiness (PGC) than recipient Huajingxian 74 (HJX74) over 6 cropping seasons. Two major QTLs for chalkiness, qPGC5 and qPGC6, were located by substitution mapping of SSSLs 22-05 and 15-06, respectively. qPGC5 was located in the 876.5 kb interval of chromosome 5 and qPGC6 was located in the 269.1 kb interval of chromosome 6. Interestingly, the PGC of HJX74
