Exploring yield potential and identifying genes beneficial to yield are important goals in the modern rice breeding. Generally, controlling leaf morphology, increasing photosynthesis efficiency and modulating the ‘‘sink-source” relationship can promote the breeding of high-yield rice as well as other cereal crops [2–4]. The morphology of the leaf includes length, width and degree of curl after its emergence from the meristem and is determined by the establishment of polarity along the adaxial–abaxial, ventral–dorsal and medial–lateral axes and regulated at genetic, hormonal and environmental levels [5, 6]. Rice leaf morphology varies widely among rice subspecies and cultivars. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting leaf shape commonly have pleiotropic effects on rice yield [7–9], which are more useful than mutant genes for studying the molecular mechanism of leaf shape regulation and their application to rice breeding. In the present study, we used the high-yielding indica rice cultivar 93–11 and the high-quality japonica rice cultivar Nipponbare (NPB) as parental strains, which differed markedly in plant morphology, leaf size, and grain traits (Fig. S1, online), and both cultivars have well-characterized genetic backgrounds and completely sequenced genomes. In our previous study, four leaf-width QTLs were detected by using a RIL population of 207 lines derived from the cross of 93-11 and NPB, which included the main effect QTL qFLW7 affecting leaf width on chromosome 7 (Fig. S2, online). In this study, aimed at this QTL, we generated near isogenic lines NIL-FLW793-11and NIL-FLW7NPB (Fig. 1a and c), by using 93-11 and NPB as qFLW7 donors in NPB and 93-11 genetic backgrounds,
