Abstract excerpt
Near isogenic lines (NILs) can be used to efficiently handle a target quantitative trait locus (QTL) by blocking genetic background noise. One QTL, SPP1, which controls the number of spikelets per panicle (SPP), was located on chromosome 1, near Gn1a, a cloned gene for rice production in a recombinant inbred line population. NILs of the SPP1 regions were quickly obtained by self-crossing recombinant inbred line...
