IR64 is one of the world's most popular rice cultivars. To collect genetic factors involved in controlling its heading date, we developed 70 reciprocal advanced-backcross populations with a total of 6284 individuals at the BC 4 F 2 generation from crosses between Koshihikari and IR64. We detected 29 QTLs associated with heading date on chromosomes 3, 5-8, 10, and 12. Twenty QTLs were located in the same chromosome regions as previously isolated heading date genes ( Hd1 , Hd6 , Hd16 , Ghd7 , DTH8 , Hd17 , and Hd18 ). The rest were located in other chromosome regions. We found more number of QTLs than previous studies using mapping populations of IR64. Fine mapping in additional advanced-backcross populations clearly revealed that QTLs on the long arm of chromosome 7 are overlapping and seem to be a novel genetic factor for heading date because of their different locations from OsPRR37 . Our results suggest that the difference in heading date between IR64 and Koshihikari is genetically controlled by many factors, and that a non-functional allele of Hd1 contributes to early heading of IR64 in the genetic background of functional alleles of other heading date QTLs and genes such as Hd6 and Hd16 .
