Abstract: A F2 population from Nipponhare and 80801 ( a bid-ear variety with more spikelets and gains) was used in the study,and 11 QTLs associated with grain number, spike length and grain density were detected,which distributed on the chromosome 1,2,5,7,9 respectively. The LOD value was 2.03-31.88,and the contribution rate of phenotype ranged from 0.21% to 68.20%.4 QTLs were associated with grain number,distributing on the chromosome 1,2,7 and 9,respectively,with the LOD value 2.11-4.00 and the genotype contribution rate 0.21%-25.06%. 4 QTLs about spikelet length were mapped on chromosome 1,2,5,9 the LOD value being 2.03-31.88and the genotype contribution 0.28%-61.19%. Among them,qPL9-1 had the LOD value of 31.88 and contribution rate of 68.19%,which should be a major QTL. Besides,3 QTLs about grain density were located on chromosome 1,2,9 the LOD value being 2.15-2.64 and the phenotype contribution rate being 0.43%-6.91.

Key words: Rice, Spike length, Grain density, Grain number, QTL
