Abstract | Heading date is a critical agronomic trait that significantly affects grain yield and quality in rice. As early heading is typically associated with reduced yield due to shorter growth duration, it is essential to harness optimum heading date genes and their allelic combinations to promote heading while minimizing yield penalties. In this study, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for heading date and other major agronomic traits in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between Koshihikari and Baegilmi. Analyses on 3 major QTLs for heading date and their underlying genes (Hd1, Hd16, and Ghd7) revealed their pleiotropic effects on culm length, panicle length, and head rice percentage. Additionally, Ghd7 exhibited pleiotropic effects on panicle number and grain size. Among 8 different types of allelic combinations of the 3 heading date genes, RILs carrying a single nonfunctional hd16 or ghd7 under the functional background of the other 2 genes (Hd1hd16Ghd7 and Hd1Hd16ghd7) showed potential for maintaining yield and quality-related traits while accelerating heading. These results provide valuable insights for fine-tuning heading dates in rice breeding programs. |
