摘要

Chromosomal segment substitution lines (CSSLs) serve as ideal materials for creating natural variation, mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL), and enabling breeding by design. In this study, Z668, a CSSL developed in the Nipponbare background with eight substituted segments from the indica restorer line R225 (average length 3.63 Mb), exhibited significant dwarfism compared to Nipponbare. Additionally, it showed a 39.9% increase in grain length, a 31.9% increase in the length-to-width ratio, and a 25.9% increase in 1000-grain weight, while grain width decreased by 3.3%. Then, seven QTL associated with grain size were identified in a F2 population from Nipponbare/Z668. Subsequently, 5 single-segment substitution lines (S1–S5) were developed, and within them were 13 QTL associated with grain size. Genetic analysis and fine-mapping confined qGL3.4, a locus controlling grain length with incomplete dominant inheritance, to a 300 kb interval between RM6266 and SSR3 on chromosome 3. Further substitution mapping with six additional single-segment substitution lines (SSSLs) (S6–S12) narrowed qGL3.4 down to a 700 kb region within the largest substitution interval. Within this region, gene prediction and DNA sequencing revealed five genes with sequence differences between Nipponbare and Z668. Based on qRT-PCR expression analysis, candidate gene 1 (LOC_Os03g42710) and candidate gene 3 (LOC_Os03g42790) were prioritized as candidate genes for qGL3.4.
