Abstract: Let be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we derive a local gradient estimate for positive solutions to a simple nonlinear parabolic equation

$\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=\Delta u+au\log u+bu$

on $M\times [0,+\infty)$ , where

are two real constants. This equation is closely related to the gradient Ricci soliton. We extend the result of L. Ma (Journal of Functional Analysis 241 (2006) 374-382).
