Summary It has been found that long palea, an easily identifiable trait, is attributable to two duplicate recessive genes designated lp 1 and lp 2. A new character, uneven kernel has been described, the espression of which is controlled by two dominant complementary genes, Un a and Un b. Two dominant complementary genes, Cl a and Cl b have been found controlling clustered habit. One of the complementary genes for clustered habit, Cl a was linked with one of the complementary genes for uneven kernel, Un a with a c.o. value of 22.1 per cent. This linkage has been assigned to I linkage group in indica rice. The long glume gene g showed 22.2 per cent linkage with oed rice gene, Rc. It was further found linked with one of the complementary genes for uneven kernel, Un b (17.8 per cent) and one of the duplicate recessive genes for long palea, lp 1 (30.2 per cent). The cross-over value between Ub b and lp 1 was 11.5 per cent. The gene order appeared to be lp 1-Un b-g-Rc. These linked genes have tentatively been assigned to IV linkage group in indica rice.
