Abstract Recent progress in the generation of a molecular genetic map and markers for
rice has made possible a new phase of mapping individual genes associated with
complex traits. This type of analysis is often referred to as quantitative trait
locus (QTL) analysis. Increasing numbers of QTL analyses are providing enormous
amounts of information about QTLs, such as the numbers of loci involved, their
chromosomal locations and gene effects. Clarification of genetic bases of
complex traits has a big impact not only on fundamental research on rice plant
development, but it also has practical benefits for rice breeding. In this
review, we summarize recent progress of QTL analysis of several complex traits
in rice. A strategy for positional cloning of genes at QTLs is also discussed.
