Plant height (PH), heading date (HD) and productive panicle number (PN) are important agronomic trait in rice. Appropriate plant height, heading date and panicle number are prerequisites for the desired high and stable yield level in rice breeding programs. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 304 individuals was derived from a cross between indica varieties Zhong156 and Gumei2, from which a linkage map consisting of 168 RFLP, SSLP, RAPD and RGA markers that distribute on all the 12 rice chromosomes was constructed, and covers 1447.
