By using the whole genome sequences and EST data from the indica rice cultivar 93-11, a detailed relative analysis is made of the effect of some impact factors on synonymous codon usage. The results showed that the gene expression level assessed by mRNA abundance is positive relative to the "codon adaptation index" (CAI, 0.227**), and "codon preference parameter" (CPP, 0.145**), but negative relative to "effective number of codons" (ENC, -0.147**), indicating that genes with higher expression showed more significant variation in codon usage. There are significant negative correlations between gene length and CAI, CPP (r = -0.413** and -0.480** respectively), but a positive correlation between gene length and ENC(r = 0.210**), which suggested a tendency of shorter genes to higher expression of the transcriptional activity in 93-11. From the results that a higher negative correlation between GC content and ENC(r = -0.740**), but higher positive correlations between GC content and CAI, CPP (r = 0.877** and 0.832**, respectively), we can concluded that the GC content in coding region gave far more contribution to codon usage bias than that mRNA abundance and gene length. Four kinds of bases showed a three-period distribution in the translation initiation region, the bias at the first codon sites, which located +4, and +6, in the downstream of ATG being the largest. That suggested that there was a strong action of natural selection on these specific positions in the 93-11 genome. In this paper twenty-five codons defined firstly as "optimal codons" in 93-11 may provide some more useful information for rice gene-transformation.
