Gleyic paddy soils are widely distributed in People's Republic of China,
SriLanka, India, Indonesia, Sierra Leone,Libya, Nigeria, Columbia and
Philippines (Mahadavappa et al. 1979, Yoshida 1981). In the People's
Republic of China, gleyic paddy soils are estimated to cover 7.5 to 8.0
million hectares, where ferrous iron toxicity in the soils reduces rice
yield by 10-20% depending on the intensity of toxicity and tolerance of
the rice cultivar (Li et al. 1991). for stem dry weight, the one on chromosome 1 coincided with QTL for leaf
bronzing index (Fig. 2). Three putative QTLs were detected for root dry
weight on chromosome 1 and 3. The QTL on chromosome 1 coincided with QTL
for leaf bronzing index, while the other QTL on chromosome 3 coincided
with QTL for stem dry weight on chromosome 3 (Fig. 2). Of the two QTLs
mapped for tiller number located on chromosome 1, one QTL located at the
region of C955-C885 on chromosome 1 also coincided with QTL for leaf bronzing
index. helping to calculate QTLs. |
