Identification of QTLs for Heat Tolerance at the Flowering Stage Using Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines in Rice.

ABSTRACT: High temperature is a major stress in rice production. Although considerable progress has been made in investigating heat tolerance (HT) in rice, the genetic basis of HT at the heading stage remains largely unknown. In this study, a novel set of chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) consisting of 113 lines derived from a heat-resistant indica variety N22 and a heat-sensitive indica variety 9311 was developed and used for the analysis of the genetic basis of HT. The heat sensitivity index (HSI) calculated based on seed-setting rates under natural and high-temperature environments was used to evaluate the influence of HT at the rice heading stage. In total, five quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with HT were detected based on seed-setting rate (SSR) evaluation;
