| Research Abstract |
To understand genetic mechanism of leaf photosynthesis, one of the factors related to rice yield, we investigated leaf photosynthesis in high-photosynthesis and high-yielding cultivar, Takanari, and its ancestors with eco-physiological and genetic methods. Comparative mapping of quantitative trait locus (QTL) for photosynthesis-related traits revealed that Takanari and its ancestors such as IR8 and Tongil commonly had a QTL on long arm of chromosome 4 with the allele increasing leaf N content. Further genotypic analysis of the Takanari pedigree suggested that breeders have selected the favorable allele of the QTL for photosynthesis on chromosome 4 in several breeding programs for high yield.
