Abstract:

Six generations of maize hybrids from Shendan 16 and Zhengdan 958 were used in the study, the third internode of maize stem above ground was punctured at the middle part along with the direction of elliptical and short diameter by self-designed maize stem puncture equipment. F1, F2, BC1, BC2, P1, and P2 were used to study the inheritance of maize stem lodging with joint analysis of multiple generations. The results were as follows: maize stem puncture tolerance trait presented a two peak distribution in the F2 population of two hybrids, and a multi-peak distribution in the BC1 and BC2 populations, indicating that the trait was quantitative in nature and controlled by polygene; the inheritance of maize stem puncture tolerance trait fitted the model of a pair of additive-dominance-epitasis major gene plus additive-dominance-epitasis polygene (D Model); the major gene heritability was between 34.5% and 45.7%; the polygene heritability was between 41.6% and 56.3%. The effects of major gene and polygene heritability were important on maize stem lodging inheritance, and should be paid more attention in maize breeding.
