The mutant exhibits normal plant morphology but has apparently few tillers. The most striking change in nop is that its panicle differentiation is blocked, with masses of fluffy bract nodes generate from the positions where rachis branches normally develop in wild-type plants. Genetic analysis suggests that nop is controlled by a single recessive gene, which is temporarily named Nop（t）. Based on its mutant phenotype, Nop（t） represents a key gene controlling the initiation of inflorescence differentiation, By using simple sequence repeat markers and sequence tagged site markers, Nop（t） gene was fine mapped in a 102-kb interval on the long arm of chromosome 6. These results will facilitate the positional cloning and functional studies of the gene.展开更多

The mu-tant exhibits white stripes on its basal leaves while the pani-cles, rachis and pedicel are milky white colored at flowering stage. Genetic analysis in an F2 population from the cross of Zhi7/white panicle mutant indicates that the white panicle phenotype is controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, tentatively termed as wp(t). Using microsatellite markers, the wp(t) gene was anchored between the markers of SSR101 and SSR63.9 with a map distance of 2.3 and 0.8 cM, respec-tively, and co-segregated with the marker of SSR17 on rice chromosome 1.展开更多
