Genetic analysis of genes that regulate the color pigmentation of sterile lemma and apiculus has been conducted. “Josaengjado” has small and round grains with purple leaf, sterile lemma and apiculus. In the F2 population from a cross between Josaengjado and Daeribbyeo 1, 246 and 182 plants exhibited purple and straw-white sterile lemma, respectively. It fitted a 9:7 segregation ratio indicating that two complementary genes control the pigmentation in sterile lemma and apiculus. Genetic analysis was performed using the F2:3 and KASP (Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR) markers. Genes for the coloration of leaf sheath, ligule, sterile lemma, and apiculus were detected on chromosomes 1 and 6. Sequence comparison showed a single nucleotide substitution C (Josaengjado) to A (Daeribbyeo 1) in the second exon of the

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the starch-related traits amylose content (AC) and resistant starch (RS) content have received much attention due to the potential benefits of grains high in these starch levels. In this study, QTLs associated with AC and RS content were identified using 92 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between two closely related
