Abstract

The molecular marker technology has been used on mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with plant resistance. The objectives of this research were to estimate genetic parameters and to map genomic regions involved in the resistance to gray leaf spot in maize. Ninety F3 families from the BS03 (susceptible) and BS04 (resistant) cross were used. Field trials were performed using a 10 × 10 square lattice design with three replications. Data from 62 SSR markers were used for linkage analysis. The locations of the QTLs on the linkage groups were determined by composite interval mapping method and the phenotypic variance explained by each marker was determined by regression analysis. Several QTLs associated to disease resistance were identified in the population BS03 × BS04. Some QTLs showed significant effects over the different environments studied. The existence of significant QTLs in common among different environments indicates these genomic regions as possible new tools for marker-assisted selection in maize breeding programs.
