Abstract: Grain number is one of the important components of rice yield which is a typical quantitative trait and can easily be influenced by genetic background and environmental factors.Single segment substitution lines (SSSLs) can effectively reduce the interference of the genetic background.We developed a set of genome- wide SSSLs carrying Nipponbare introgression segments in the background of Guangluai 4.Quantitative trail loci (QTL) analysis involved one- way ANOVA and Dunnett' s test for comparing SSSLs with the recurrent parent Guangluai 4 (P 0.001).We detected 27 QTLs for grain number distributed on 11 rice chromosomes except chromosome 10,of which 2 had negative effect and the others positive effect.The additive effect of these QTLs ranged from-37.5 to 96.6,with additive effect percentages-29.07% to 88.57%.These results provide useful information for exploring and using new grain number related resources.
