Abstract

A maize genetic linkage map was generated using SSR and SNP markers in a F7:8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross of waxy corn (KW7) and dent corn (Mo17). A total of 465 markers, including 459 SSR and 6 SNP markers, were assigned to 10 linkage groups which spanned 2,656.5 cM with an average genetic distance between markers of 5.7 cM, and the number of loci per linkage group ranged from 39 to 55. The SSR (85.4%) and SNP (83.3%) markers showed Mendelian segregation ratios in the RIL population at a 5% significance threshold. In linkage analysis of six SNP loci associated with kernel starch synthesis genes (ae1, bt2, sh1, sh2, su1, and wx1), all six loci were successfully mapped and are closely linked with SSR markers in chromosomes 3 (sh2), 4 (su1 and bt2), 5 (ae1), and 9 (sh1 and wx1). The SSR markers linked with genes in starch synthesis may be utilized in marker assisted breeding programs. The resulting genetic map will be useful in dissection of quantitative traits and the identification of superior QTLs from the waxy hybrid corn. Additionally, these data support further genetic analysis and development of maize breeding programs.
