Abstract: The number and the length of roots as well as its QTL would provide theoretical basis for genetic mechanisms and molecular marker assisted breeding of salt and alkaline tolerance. Recombinant inbred lines(RIL)of sensitive varieties Dongnong 425 tolerant varieties Changbai 10 cross were treated with 140 mmol/L NaCl and 0.15% Na2CO3 as salt and alkali stress,and normal condition as control. The number and the length of roots during seedling stage were measured,and using complete interval mapping(ICIM)of QTL IciMapping v3.3 software to analysis the QTL under salt,alkali and normal conditions. We detected eighteen additive QTL located on 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9 and 10 chromosomes with LOD 2.01-3.35,and the contribution rate to phenotypic variation was 6.02%-20.06%.Under natural conditions,four QTL related to the root number were detected,among which,12.46% was the largest contribution rate of qNRN7-2,while no QTL were detected related to the root length. Under salt stress,five QTL were detected related to the number and length of roots,among which,20.06% was the largest contribution rate of qSRN3. Under alkali stress,three QTL related to the root number and root length were detected. The contribution rate of qARN2 was 12.99%,and the contributions of qARL3 and qARL5 were 7.04% and 8.88% respectively. We found four different number and length related QTL between normal and salt condition. Among them,the contribution rates of qN-SRN8-2 and qN-SRL1 were relatively large,14.01% and 14.12%,respectively.In normal and alkali conditions,two number and length related QTL were detected on 3 and 10 chromosomes. One QTL associated with root number, qN-ARN3,located on chromosome 3,with contribution rate 6.02%.One QTL were detected related to the number and length of roots,among which,7.45% was the largest contribution rate of qN-ARL10 on chromosome 10. Under alkali and salt stress conditions,the number and length of rice seedling roots were significantly affected,and compared with salt stress,rice was more sensitive to alkali stress.
