A genetic linkage map with 226 SSR marker loci was constructed. Single-locus analysis following composite interval mapping （CIM） detected a total of five QTLs located on five different chromosomes of rice. Four QTLs were also detected following two-locus analysis, resolving two pairs of epistatic QTLs （E-QTI_s） with positive and additive genetic effects. The results indicated that the alleles from the parent Baiyeqiu contributed DH population to improve drought tolerance at the seedling stage.展开更多
