Abstract: A rice mutant erect panicle 7(ep7),obtained from tissue culture of a japonica variety Zhonghua 11,showed a dense and erect panicle and significantly reduced plant height,effective panicle number per plant,grain length and 1000-grain weight.The genetic analysis of a F2 segregation population derived from the cross between ep7 and an indica variety Huajingxian 74 demonstrated that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene on the long arm of chromosome 7,termed EP7,between two InDel markers ID5198-2 and ID4309-1 with 0.7 cM and 0.5 cM genetic distance,respectively.Morever,bioinformatic analysis and sequence polymorphorism revealed that the mutant phenotype might be caused by a large DNA fragment insertion in EP7 gene.
