Abstract: Rice heading date is an important agronomic trait. Mapping heading date gene is important for rice improvement. A rice(Oryza sativaL.) mutant with a early heading date,designated as edh(t),was found from a japonicarice variety Nipponbare. This early heading date mutant phenotype was stably expressed through successive five self-crossed generations,and its heading date was earlier 15 days than that in wild-type. Genetic analysis showed that the phenotype of edh(t) was controlled by a single dominant nuclear gene, temporarily designated as ehd(t). By means of molecular marker technique, the ehd(t)gene was mapped to an interval between two SSR markers RM223 and RM584 on chromosome 8 with two F2segregating population,with genetic distances of 5. 2 cM and 6. 1 cM to each marker respectively. This is the basis for marker-assisted selection and map-based coloning this ehd(t)gene.
