| 1 | Mapping and characterization of a tiller-spreading mutant lazy-2 in rice显示文摘Tiller angle of rice is an important agronomic trait that contributes to breed new varieties with ideal archi-tecture. In this study, we report mapping and characteriza-tion of a rice mutant defective in tiller angle. At the seedling stage, the newly developed tillers of the mutant plants grow with a large angle that leads to a lazy phenotype at the mature stage. Genetic analysis indicates that this tiller- spreading phenotype is controlled by one recessive gene that is allelic to a reported mutant la. Therefore, the mutant was named la-2 and la renamed la-1. To map and clone LA, we constructed a large mapping population. Genetic linkage analysis showed that the LA gene is located between 2 SSR markers RM202 and RM229. By using the 6 newly-developed molecular markers, the LA gene was placed within a 0.4 cM interval on chromosome 11, allowing us to clone LA and study the mechanism that controls rice tiller angle at the molecular level. | LIPeijin ZENGDali LIUXinfang XUDan GUDai LIJiayang QIANQian | 2003 | Chinese Science Bulletin2003，48，24： | 7 |
