gene pool, we performed QTL analysis in the cross O. sativa (indica) × O. rufipogon(perennial type) (Cai and Morishima, n.d.). Based on 125 recombinant inbred lines(RILs), 148 markers were mapped. Because this wild parent carried some japonicaspecificcharacteristics, indica-japonica diagnostic traits segregated in this mappingpopulation in addition to domestication-related traits. Among 34 quantitative traitsexamined, 22 traits revealed 1–29 putative QTLs, respectively. Several QTLs for domestication-relatedtraits were mapped over the whole genome, showing a tendencyto form clusters, each reflecting the domestication syndrome. The same situation wasobserved in QTLs for indica versus japonica diagnostic traits. In addition, some of theclusters joined the domestication syndrome clusters. Figure 4 presents examples ofgene clusters.

Character code:SHA = seed shattering, DOR = seed dormancy, AWL = awn length, ANL = anther length, P/T =panicle number/tiller number, DTH = days to heading, BVP = basic vegetative phase, KCL =KClO 3 resistance, APH = apiculus hair length, GMS = germination speed, LTR = low-temperatureresistance, PTB = panicle neck to lowest branch, MSL = mesocotyl length, SWD = spikeletwidth. The small spindle on the chromosome shows the approximate position of the centromere.(Adapted from Cai and Morishima, n.d.)72 Morishima
