Glh6 on chromosome 5 (Tomar and Tomar, 1987), are known. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) based on mo-Nephotettix virescens Distant (green leafhopper: GLH) is one of lecular genotypes, such as RFLP (restriction fragment the major insect pests of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the temperate rice length polymorphism), SSR (simple sequence repeat), growing region of Asia. The objective of this study was to determine and SNP (single nucleic acid polymorphism) holds the chromosome locations of some GLH-resistance genes and conduct genetic analysis of GLH resistance. From a cross between the japonica promise for confirming the selection and accelerating cultivar Taichung65, which is susceptible to GLH, and indica cultivar the rate of development of GLH-resistant crops (Haru-ARC10313, which is resistant to GLH, 125 recombinant inbred F 10 shima et al., 1998; Temnykh et al., 2000; Nasu et al., lines (RIL) were developed. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for antibio-2002). The objectives of this study are to (i) conduct a sis to GLH were detected on chromosomes 3, 5, 11, and 12. The QTL molecular marker-based genetic analysis of GLH resisnear XNpb292 on chromosome 12 for GLH mortality was from the tance by means of an RFLP map and replicated phenojaponica cultivar, while the other three QTLs on chromosomes 3, 5, typing experiments, (ii) characterize the GLH resistance and 11 were from the indica cultivar. The percentages of observed of ARC10313, and (iii) determine the modes of the phenotypic variance attributable to the major QTLs on chromosomes genetic effects of the leafhopper resistance genes. 3 and 11 were 25.3% and 56.8%, respectively. These two QTLs were close to two green rice leafhopper (GRH, Nephotettix cincticeps Unler) resistance genes, Grh4 and Grh2, respectively. Using NILs (near 389
