| Research Abstract |
Cold damage has been one of the major problems for rice production in northern Japan. Effective screening for new cold tolerance cultivar such as maker-basis is strongly required. The present study aimed to identify the QTL of cold tolerance of highly cold tolerant cultivar Tohoku PL-3" (PL3) and clarify the physiological functions of QTL. The recombinant inbred lines of 215 lines (F_8) between PL3 and Akihikari" (weak tolerance) were used for analysis. We found significant QTL on chromosome 5 and 12 for spikelet sterility induced by low temperature at the booting stages. The QTL at the chromosome 12 has a role for maintaining anther length at low temperature and the QTL at the chromosome 5 has a role for maintaining higher efficiency for fertilization specific anther length.
