Abstract: The low utilization rate of phosphorus is a major limiting factor in rice production. In order to explore the rice tolerance to low phosphorus favorable genes and cultivate phosphorus efficient varieties, in our study, 2 BC2F4 backcrossing populations were developed from the elite indica restorer lines ‘Shuhui527’ and ‘Minghui86’ as the recurrent parents and ‘Yetuozai’ as donor parent. Yield and its related traits of the backcrossing populations were evaluated and analyzed under normal control and phosphorus deficiency conditions. SSR polymorphic molecular markers were used for genotypic analysis. One-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) was applied to identify QTLs for all the measured traits. The results suggested that, panicle number (PN) was greatly affected by phosphorus deficiency stress, resulting in the loss of yield among the yield component factors. The results of correlation analysis showed that, ?lled-grain number per panicle (FGP) and PN were in very significant positive correlation with grain yield (YD) under two conditions. The results of identified QTLs conferring YD and its related traits revealed that 11 QTLs, 10 QTLs, 10 QTLs, 9 QTLs and 13 QTLs controlling PN, FGP, spikelet fertility (SF), thousand grain weight (TGW) and YD were detected respectively under two conditions. These findings provided useful information for the development of low phosphorus tolerance varieties, the discovery of favorable related genes and marker-assisted selection (MAS). Furthermore, the introgression lines in our study would be used as useful materials.
