Abstract
Kernel size is a key component of maize yield. Fifty-nine homozygous chromosome single segment substitution lines (SSSL) were employed to identify the QTL of 100-kernel weight of maize under six environments usingt-test and overlap mapping method. Twenty QTLs of 100-kernel weight were identified on eight chromosomes of maize, of which fourteen QTLs (70.0%) were found repeatedly in more than two environments, four QTLs (20.0%) were found repeatedly in more than four environments, the major QTLq100kw-5-3, which was detected repeatedly under six environments, was located near the SSR markers bnlg278 and umc1680 at Bin 5.05. These results provide a good foundation for further fine mapping and cloning of major genes related to the maize kernel size.

Maize yield and yield-related traits are seriously affected by water stress. Therefore, detecting quantitative trait locus (QTL) for yield components and kernel-related traits, analyzing the stability of QTLs and exploiting constitutive QTLs under different water regimes are of great importance in marker-assisted breeding for drought tolerance in maize. In this study two F2:3populations derived from Qi319×Huangzaosi (Q/H) and Ye478×Huangzaosi (Y/H) were used to investigate the genetic basis of yield components and kernel-related traits under different water regimes in Xinjiang (including well-water and water-stress environments) by stepwise joint QTL mapping method. The results showed that above 70% of the QTLs for yield components and kernel-related traits expressed stably under the same water regime across the two years. The QTLs detected in water-stress environments were less stable than those in well-water environments across the two years in Xinjiang. The joint analysis combining data of all environments indicated that the stability of the QTLs for all traits decreased, but above 60% of them still expressed stably. A total of 11 constitutive QTLs (with contribution rate more than10% in at least one environment, detected in more than two environments based on single environment analysis) distributed on bin1.10, 2.00, 4.09, 7.02, 9.02, 10.04 and 10.07 were detected in the two populations, and all of them except bin10.04 were stable across all environments. Consequently, most of the QTLs for yield components and kernel-related traits stably expressed under the same water regime across different years, and even under different water regimes in Xinjiang. These constitutive QTLs may provide references for molecular breeding and further basic studies.

Genetic dissection for grain yield and its components can provide a new strategy for crop breeding, and it play an important role in improving agricultural production. For dissecting the genetic basis of grain yield and its components, a set of recombinant inbred line (RIL) derived from an elite maize hybrid Yuyu 22, which is planted broadly in China, was used to constructed an “immortalized F2”(IF2) maize (Zea mays L.) populations including 441 single crosses. The frequency of molecular marker loci for the IF2 population was analyzed using 253 different SSR markers, the results demonstrated that the genetic components and gene frequency of the IF2 population was similar to its F2 population in molecular maker level, theoretically it could replace F2 population in related genetic analyses. The IF2 population was evaluated in one environment over two years, and the genetic mechanism of grain yield and its components was dissected through QTL analysis using composite interval mapping (CIM) method. These results showed that grain yield had positive significant correlation with its three components at P<0.01 or P<0.05 level, and in the three components, ear length had negative significant correlation with row number and 100-grian weight at P<0.05 level. A total of 8 QTL were detected for grain yield, 8 for ear length, 11 for row number and 5 for 100-grain weight.
【Objective】 The purpose of this investigation was to identify QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus) for maize yield related traits and those introgression lines containing favorable alleles. 【Method】 Two maize inbred lines, QB80 and Qi319 were used as the donor parents, respectively, and the Ye478 as the recurrent parent, two introgression line populations consisting of 61 and 72 family lines were constructed by backcrossing combined with directional selection, respectively. The two introgression line populations were evaluated across 4 environments in 2 years. The QTLs for yield and related traits were detected by stepwise regression (RSTEP-LRT) using Windows QTL ICI Mapping software. 【Result】 A total of 49 QTLs for 9 traits were identified in the population with QB80 as the donor, and 42 QTLs for 9 traits were identified in the population with Qi319 as the donor under four environments. Of which 16 QTLs were detected across not less than two environments. In addition, some QTLs for same trait detected in different environments were located in the same chromosome regions, and those QTLs for diverse traits were also located in the same or adjacent chromosome region, forming several multiple QTL-rich regions. The less consistent QTL was detected in two populations, indicating that the two donors contain different sets of favorable alleles. And the yield associated traits of those lines containing favorable introgression segments or alleles were significantly improved, implicating those lines are available for improving of Ye478 by QTL pyramiding. 【Conclusion】 The genetic difference between QB80 and Ye 478 is more than that of Qi319 and Ye478 , therefore, more yield trait QTL can be detected. Those introgression lines containing favorable alleles can be used to improve Ye478 by designed QTL pyramiding. The detected QTL-rich regions have given a subset of important chromosome regions for fine mapping and cloning of genes for yield associated traits.

A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was evaluated in seven field experiments representing four environments: water stress at flowering (WS) and well-watered (WW) conditions in Mexico and Zimbabwe. The QTLs were identified for each trait in each individual experiment (single-experiment analysis) as well as per environment, per water regime across locations and across all experiments (joint analyses). For the six target traits (male flowering, anthesis-to-silking interval, grain yield, kernel number, 100-kernel fresh weight and plant height) 81, 57, 51 and 34 QTLs were identified in the four step-wise analyses, respectively. Despite high values of heritability, the phenotypic variance explained by QTLs was reduced, indicating epistatic interactions. About 80, 60 and 6% of the QTLs did not present significant QTL-by-environment interactions (QTL × E) in the joint analyses per environment, per water regime and across all experiments. The expression of QTLs was quite stable across years at a given location and across locations under the same water regime. However, the stability of QTLs decreased drastically when data were combined across water regimes, reflecting a different genetic basis of the target traits in the drought and well-watered trials. Several clusters of QTLs for different traits were identified by the joint analyses of the WW (chromosomes 1 and 8) and WS (chromosomes 1, 3 and 5) treatments and across water regimes (chromosome 1). Those regions are clear targets for future marker-assisted breeding, and our results confirm that the best approach to breeding for drought tolerance includes selection under water stress.

A novel population consisting of 35 single-segment substitution lines (SSSLs) originating from crosses between the recipient parent, Hua-jing-xian 74 (HJX74), and 17 donor parents was evaluated in six cropping season environments to reveal the genetic basis of genetic main effect (G) and genotype-by-environment interaction effect (GE) for panicle number (PN) in rice. Subsets of lines were grown in up to six environments. An indirect analysis method was applied, in which the total genetic effect was first partitioned into G and GE by using the mixed linear-model approach, and then QTL (quantitative trait locus) analyses on these effects were conducted separately. At least 18 QTLs for PN in rice were detected and identified on 9 of 12 rice chromosomes. A single QTL effect (a + ae) ranging from −1.5 to 1.2 was divided into two components, additive effect (a) and additive × environment interaction effect (ae). A total number of 9 and 16 QTLs were identified witha ranging from −0.4 to 0.6 andae ranging from −1.0 to 0.6, respectively, the former being stable but the latter unstable across environments. Three types of QTLs were suggested according to their effects expressed. Two QTLs (Pn-1b andPn-6d) expressed stably across environments due to the association with onlya, nine QTLs (Pn-1a, Pn-3c, Pn-3d, Pn-4, Pn-6a, Pn-6b, Pn-8, Pn-9 andPn-12) with onlyae were unstable, and the remaining seven of QTLs were identified with botha andae, which also were unstable across environments. This is the first report on the detection of QE (QTL-by-environment interaction effect) of QTLs with SSSLs. Our results illustrate the efficiency of characterizing QTLs and analyzing action of QTLs through SSSLs, and further demonstrate that QE is an important property of many QTLs. Information provided in this paper could be used in the application of marker-assisted selection to manipulate PN in rice.

Nine single segment substitution lines (SSSLs) in rice, which contain quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for tiller number on substituted segments detected in previous studies, were selected as materials to analyse dynamic expression of the QTLs in this study. These SSSLs and their recipient parent, Hua-jing-xian 74 (HJX74), were grown in four different environments and were measured for tiller number at nine different growth stages. An indirect methodology was applied in QTL mapping through analyzing multi-environment phenotypic data. Dynamics of three types of effects (including total effect, main effect, and QE interaction effect) of QTLs was released. It was shown that nine QTLs exhibited statistically significant effects only at certain stages. Effects of a QTL, although insignificant at certain stages, displayed dynamic change with the growth of rice plants. Two common features of nine QTLs were detected, one is no expression within 7 days after transplanting, and the other is opposite expression existed during the whole growth period. Nine QTLs largely focused on expression in certain stages, and accordingly were suggested to partition into three types, expression in prophase, both in prophase and in anaphase, and evenly during the whole stage. It may be reasonable explanation that dynamics of main effects of QTLs are likely due to gene expression selectly at certain times, while dynamics of QE interaction effects of QTLs might attribute to the subrogation of environmental factors. Examination of the association between QE interaction effect and specified environmental factors across stages may provide useful information on how an environmental factor regulates QTL expression.

DNA cryptography is a new born cryp- tographic field emerged with the research of DNA computing, in which DNA is used as information car- rier and the modern biological technology is used as implementation tool. The vast parallelism and ex- traordinary information density inherent in DNA molecules are explored for cryptographic purposes such as encryption, authentication, signature, and so on. In this paper, we briefly introduce the biological background of DNA cryptography and the principle of DNA computing, summarize the progress of DNA cryptographic research and several key problems, discuss the trend of DNA cryptography, and compare the status, security and application fields of DNA cryptography with those of traditional cryptography and quantum cryptography. It is pointed out that all the three kinds of cryptography have their own ad- vantages and disadvantages and complement each other in future practical application. The current main difficulties of DNA cryptography are the absence of effective secure theory and simple realizable method. The main goal of the research of DNA cryptography is exploring characteristics of DNA molecule and reac- tion, establishing corresponding theories, discovering possible development directions, searching for sim- ple methods of realizing DNA cryptography, and lay- ing the basis for future development.

In this paper, we briefly introduce the biological background of DNA cryptography and the principle of DNA computing, summarize the progress of DNA cryptographic research and several key problems, discuss the trend of DNA cryptography, and compare the status, security and application fields of DNA cryptography with those of traditional cryptography and quantum cryptography. It is pointed out that all the three kinds of cryptography have their own ad-vantages and disadvantages and complement each other in future practical application. The current main difficulties of DNA cryptography are the absence of effective secure theory and simple realizable method. The main goal of the research of DNA cryptography is exploring characteristics of DNA molecule and reac-tion, establishing corresponding theories, discovering possible development directions, searching for sim-ple methods of realizing DNA cryptography, and lay-ing the basis for future development.

The aim of this investigation was to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with grain yield and yield components in maize and to analyze the role of epistasis in controlling these traits. An F2:3 population from an elite hybrid (Zong3 × 87-1) was used to evaluate grain yield and yield components in two locations (Wuhan and Xiangfan, China) using a randomized complete-block design. The mapping population included 266 F2:3 family lines. A genetic linkage map containing 150 simple sequence repeats and 24 restriction fragment length polymorphism markers was constructed, spanning a total of 2531.6 cM with an average interval of 14.5 cM. A logarithm-of-odds threshold of 2.8 was used as the criterion to confirm the presence of one QTL after 1000 permutations. Twenty-nine QTL were detected for four yield traits, with 11 of them detected simultaneously in both locations. Single QTL contribution to phenotypic variations ranged from 3.7% to 16.8%. Additive, partial dominance, dominance, and overdominance effects were all identified for investigated traits. A greater proportion of overdominance effects was always observed for traits that exhibited higher levels of heterosis. At theP ≤ 0.005 level with 1000 random permutations, 175 and 315 significant digenic interactions were detected in two locations for four yield traits using all possible locus pairs of molecular markers. Twenty-four significant digenic interactions were simultaneously detected for four yield traits at both locations. All three possible digenic interaction types were observed for investigated traits. Each of the interactions accounted for only a small proportion of the phenotypic variation, with an average of 4.0% for single interaction. Most interactions (74.9%) occurred among marker loci, in which significant effects were not detected by single-locus analysis. Some QTL (52.2%) detected by single-locus analysis were involved in epistatic interactions. These results demonstrate that digenic interactions at the two-locus level might play an important role in the genetic basis of maize heterosis.

Abstract Improvement in grain yield is an important objective in high-oil maize breeding. In this study, one high-oil maize inbred was crossed with two normal maize inbreds to produce two connected recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations with 282 and 263 F7:8 families, respectively. The field experiments were conducted under four environments, and eight grain yield components and grain oil content were evaluated. Two genetic linkage maps were constructed using 216 and 208 polymorphic SSR markers. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected for all traits under each environment and in combined analysis. Meta-analysis was used to integrate genetic maps and detected QTL in both populations. A total of 199 QTL were detected, 122 in population 1 and 87 in population 2. Seven, 11 and 19 QTL showed consistency across five environments, across two RIL populations and with respective F2:3 generations, respectively. 183 QTL were integrated in 28 meta-QTL (mQTL). QTL with contributions over 15% were consistently detected in 3–4 cases and integrated in mQTL. Each mQTL included 3–19 QTL related to 1–4 traits, reflecting remarkable QTL co-location for grain yield components and oil content. Further research and marker-assisted selection (MAS) should be concentrated on 37 consistent QTL and four genetic regions of mQTL with more than 10 QTL at bins 3.04–3.05, 7.02, 8.04–8.05 and 9.04–9.05. Near-isogenic lines for 100-grain-weight QTL at bin 7.02–7.03, for ear-length QTL at bin 7.02–7.03 and for rows-per-ear QTL at bin 3.08 are now in construction using MAS. Co-located candidate genes could facilitate the identification of candidate genes for grain yield in maize.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the crops studied widely by QTL mapping. There are a lot of reports about QTL for important traits, including yield components, plant height, grain moisture and growth data and so on. Thereinto, grain yield is a very complicated quantitative trait, existing interactions not only with gene by gene, but also gene by environment. Studying the relationship of the interaction between genes and environments and finding the yield QTL expressed in given environment are of importance in practice for cultivating new varieties adapting to some area. If consensus QTL of yield and its adjacent marker can be found, it will provide possibility for molecular breeding by marker assisted selection (MAS). The objective of this experiment was to analysis the expression character of QTL controlling yield, and to detect common genetic loci of yield, as well as adjacent marker, in different environment, which could provide technical basis for fine mapping of yield QTL and MAS. One hundred and ninety-one F2 individuals derived from the cross, Mo17×Huangzao4, were genotyped by SSR and AFLP markers to construct the genetic linkage map, and 184 corresponding F2∶3 families were phenotyped for maize yield components in Beijing and Xinjiang. The performance and correlations among 5 yield components including ears per plant (EPP), row number per ear (RN), kernel number per row (KR), 100-kernel weight (KW) and grain yield per plant (GY) were evaluated, and the quantitative trait loci (QTL) were characterized. Totally, 47 QTLs were identified for 5 traits, locating on 9 chromosomes with exception of the chromosome 10. 10, 13, 9, 10 and 5 QTLs were detected for EPP, RN, KR, KW and GY, respectively. Each of these QTLs could explain 5.3% to 25.6% phenotypic variation of EPP, 4.5% to 23.2% of RN, 5.4% to 13.7% of KR, 4.9% to 13.3% of KW and 6.1% to 35.8% of GY. Most of the QTLs are detected in single environment, indicating the significant interactions between QTL and environments. Different QTLs relevant to the yield components which are correlated each other can be identified easily in the same or adjacent chromosome regions. Several regions with clustered QTLs relevant to multiple yield components identified in the study may provide the genetic loci of the universal yield QTLs.
