玉米在不同水分条件下开花相关性状的QTL分析

Drought is one of the most important factors influencing maize yield.QTL analysis for related traits under water stress will facilitate the understanding of genetic mechanisms of drought tolerance and provide the basis of marker-assisted selection.The present study conducted QTL analysis of flowering-related traits including days to tasseling,days to silking,days to anthesis and anthesis to silking interval(ASI) under different water regimes in Xinjiang and Beijing,using 139 F_2∶3 families of A188×91 Huang 15.Totally 26 QTL were found to be associated with the flowering-related traits under normal water conditions,with the range of LOD of 2.62-8.40 and the range of phenotypic variance explained of 9.1%-43.2%.A QTL located near the marker"bnlg1176" on chromosome 8 controlled days to tasseling,days to silking and days to anthesis.Meanwhile,six QTL were found to be associated with the flowering-related traits under drought stress,with the range of LOD of 2.6-5.6 and the range of phenotypic variance explained of 9.5%-58.0%.A QTL also located near the marker "bnlg1176" on chromosome 8 controlled days to tasseling and days to silking,which could explain 16.6% and 20.5% of phenotypic variance.The genomic region near bnlg1176 on chromosome 8 is presumed to be an important region because eight QTL were found.
