The genetic mechanism underlying the relationship between grain weight and its six component traits (grain length, grain width, grain thickness, length/width, grain volume and grain density) in rice was dissected using 292 F 13 RILs and a complete linkage map with 272 markers. The RILs showed tremendous transgressive segregation for all traits studied. Grain weight was positively correlated with all other grain traits. Significant negative associations existed between grain width, thickness and grain density, which could be associated with grain quality. Forty-eight main-effect QTLs and 38 epistatic QTL pairs affecting these traits were identified, collectively explaining over 55% of the total variation of individual traits. More than 80% QTLs tended to have pleiotropism or physiological associations. QGl3 and QGl2 had indirect impacts on grain weight via grain volume, at which the Lemont alleles were beneficial for the improvement of grain quality. The Teqing alleles at QGw5?QGt1 and QGv7 increased grain weight but had inverse impacts on grain quality and grain density. Improvement for grain weight as well as grain quality would be practical by recombination of different QTLs using marker-assisted selection.
