A dwarf mutant of rice(Oryza sativa L.) by mutagenesis of ethylene methylsulfonate(EMS) treatment from Nipponbare was identi-fied.The mutant exhibited phenotypes of dwarfism and withered leaf tip(dwl1).Based on the internode length of dwl1,this mutant be-longs to the dm type of dwarfing.Analysis of elongation of the second sheath and α-amylase activity in endosperm showed that the phe-notype caused by dwl1 was insensitive to gibberellin acid treatment.Using a large F2 population derived from a cross between the dwl1 and an indica rice variety,TN1,the DWL1 gene was mapped to the terminal region of the long arm of chromosome 3.Fine-mapping de-limited it into a 46 kb physical distance between two STS markers,HL921 and HL944,where 6 open reading frames were predicted.Cloning of DWL1 will contribute to dissecting molecular mechanism that regulates plant height in rice,which will be beneficial to mo-lecular assisted selection of this important trait.
