Aiming at efficient breeding of rice cultivars, we applied QTL-seq method (Takagi et al. Plant J. 74:174) to rice to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling important agronomic traits, resulting in successful identification of QTL for cold tolerance, heading date, and partial resistance to blast disease. We further attempted to combine QTL-seq with a high-throughput luciferase bioluminescence measurement system to identify QTL governing WRKY19 gene promoter activity in Arabidopsis, with a promising preliminary result.
