Abstract The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique combined with selective genotyping was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with tolerance for phosphorus (P) deficiency in rice. P deficiency tolerant cultivar IR20 was crossed to IR55178-3B-9-3 (sensitive to P-deficiency) and 285 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were produced by single-seed descent. The RILs were phenotyped for the trait by growing them in P-sufficient (10.0 mg/l) and P-deficient (0.5 mg/l) nutrient solution and determining their relative tillering ability at 28 days after seeding, and relative shoot dry weight and relative root dry weight at 42 days after seeding. Forty two of each of the extreme RILs (sensitive and tolerant) and the parents were subjected to AFLP analysis. A map consisting of 217 AFLP markers was constructed. Its length was 1371.8 cM with an average interval size of 7.62 cM. To assign linkage groups to chromosomes, 30 AFLP and 26 RFLP markers distributed over the 12 chromosomes were employed as anchor markers. Based on the constructed map, a major QTL for P-deficiency tolerance, designated PHO, was located on chromosome 12 and confirmed by RFLP markers RG9 and RG241 on the same chromosome. Several minor QTLs were mapped on chromosomes 1, 6, and 9.
