Abstract: Three stably inherited yellow leaf mutants, Yl1, Yl2 and Yl3, were isolated from a japonica rice variety Xiushui 09 treated by ethyl methylsulfonate (EMS). Compared with their wild type Xiushui 09, these mutants showed less tiller and shorter culm, and yellow leaves were observed at the seedling and tilling stages. With the growth of the mutant plants, the leaves turn green. Genetic analysis showed that the yellow leaf traits of the three mutants were all controlled by one pair of recessive nuclear genes. Genetic mapping of the mutant genes were conducted using yellow leaf individuals from the F2 mapping populations of Y 1, Y 2 and Y 3 crossed with indica variety Zhenshan 97. Y 1 was mapped between SSR markers RM282 and RM6080, within genetic distance of 7.5 cM in chromosome 3. While Y 2 and Y 3 were mapped in the same site of chromosome 5 between 5.43w and RM1237, with genetic distances of 2.0 cM and 6.8 cM to each of them, respectively.
