Many agronomically important traits are governed by several genes known as quantitative trait loci (QTLs). The identification of important, QTL-controlled agricultural traits has been difficult because of their complex inheritance; however, completion of the rice genomic sequence has facilitated the cloning of QTLs and their pyramiding for breeding. Because QTLs are derived from natural variation, the use of a wider range of variations such as that found in wild species is important. In addition, Introgression Lines (ILs) developed from wild species in combination with Marker Assisted Selection should facilitate efficient gene identification. This review describes recent developments in rice QTL analysis including mapping, cloning and pyramiding QTLs.
