Reduction of grain yield (total seed weight) by ozone in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is believed to be caused by ozone-induced reduction of photosynthetic activity followed by growth inhibition. Here, japonica rice cultivar Sasanishiki and indica rice cultivar Habataki showed different responses to ozone. When exposed to ozone, the leaves of Habataki exhibited no critical damage, whereas those of Sasanishiki developed lesions. Conversely, ozone exposure reduced total seed weight by 19% in Habataki, but not significantly in Sasanishiki. Chronic ozone exposure also significantly decreased culm length, number of primary rachis branch, and number of spikelets per panicle in Habataki. QTL analysis in Sasanishiki/Habataki chromosome segment substitution lines identified a single locus associated with the yield loss caused by ozone on chromosome 6 of Habataki close to marker RM3430 (107.6 cM). A QTL for reduction of primary rachis branch number and total spikelet number was found in the same position. These results indicate that a QTL on chromosome 6 has an important role in ozone-induced yield loss, and is also involved in primary rachis branch formation and total spikelet number in ozone-exposed rice.
