doi:10.3969/j.issn.10017216.2012.03.018

Abstract

Abstract: Heading date is one of the most important agronomic traits closely related to rice yield in rice.The genetic pattern, growth and development characters of heading date in rice were reviewed. A total of 618 rice QTLs mapped and some important functional genes, such as Hd1, Hd3a, Ghd7, Ehd1 etc, were involved in control of the heading date. The regulation network of these headingdate genes has been preliminary established. The challenge of heading date mechanism research in rice and their prospects of applications in practice were dicussed.

Key words: heading date, quantity trait loci, gene, rice
