Abstract: A genetic linkage map of 85 SSR markers was constructed based on an F2 population derived from a cross between a cultivated rice “Taichung 65” (Oryza sativa) (♀) and a common wild rice (O. rufipogon) (♂). The markers in the linkage map were distributed on 12 rice chromosomes. The statistic software of Mapmaker/QTL 1.0 was used to detect QTLs for crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, crude ash, silica, and water soluble carbohydrate contents. There were 3 QTLs for crude protein, 1 QTL for ether extract, 2 QTLs for silica, and 3 QTLs for water soluble carbohydrate. They were identified on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Interval mapping identified 4 major QTLs and 5 minor QTLs. Major QTLs were qCEE-1 (explained 56.8% of variation) for the ether extract content, qCWSC-4 (explained 23.1% of variation) and qCWSC-7 (explained 25.0% of variation) for WSC content and qCS-9 (explained 15.9% of variation) for silica content. QTLs for crude fiber and crude ash contents were not detected.
