A white striped leaf and white panicle mutant, designated as wslwp, was obtained from a rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Zhonghua 11) transfer DNA insertion mutant pool. The mutant was characterized by white leaves at the 1leaf stage, chlorotic leaves with longitudinal green stripes at the 2leaf stage, and green leaves before heading. Moreover, at the heading stage, the glume showed white color, but the panicle axis and rachis remained green. The grain changed into yellow at the maturity stage. Chlorophyll and carotenoid contents and seed setting rate of the mutant were significantly reduced. Genetic analysis showed that the phenotype of the mutnt was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. An F2 population generated by crossing the mutant with Longtefu B was used as a gene mapping population. WSLWP locus was preliminarily located between SSR molecular markers RM5711 and RM6574 on chromosome 7, then it was mapped to a physical distance 87 kb region between newlydeveloped polymorphic STS markers STS763 and STS765.
