Abstract: Heading date is one of the important agronomic traits of rice. It is crucial for rice to adapt to different cultivation areas and cropping seasons. Recently,great advances have been made in the identification,mapping,cloning and action mechanism of heading date genes,especial QTL in rice. Several aspects involved in heading date are reviewed in this paper, they include ①gene location ②quantitative trait locus(QTL), gene interaction and equipotential relation with dominant gene ③gene cloning ④molecular mechanism of rice blooming. These results provide meaningful information for studying of heading date of cereal plants.
