Genetic and QTL analysis of pericarp thickness and ear architecture traits of Korean waxy corn germplasm
2012
Overview
Pericarp thickness and ear traits are important selection criteria for breeding fresh market waxy corn. This research was conducted to better understand genetic control of these traits in popular South Korean germplasm now grown in Illinois. Pericarp thickness on five kernel regions, and ten inflorescence architecture traits were measured on ears from 264 F

families from a cross between Korean inbreds BH20 and BH30. All five pericarp thickness traits showed high heritabilities and were highly correlated. Multivariate principal components analysis (PCA) revealed that just one principal component (PC) explained most of the total phenotypic variation. A number of univariate quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected and most were associated with more than one kernel pericarp region. Four out of seven PC-QTL were located in chromosome positions where three or more pericarp thickness univariate QTL were detected. Conversely, three PC-QTL were found in regions with just a single or two univariate QTL, indicating that these QTL regions may be more important for overall pericarp thickness than suggested by univariate analysis. The PCA, QTL, and PC-QTL results indicate that pericarp thickness on different kernel regions may be controlled by common genes with pleiotropic effects. Additive effects of QTL for thinner pericarp thickness came from both BH20 and BH30. For ear architecture traits, heritability varied from 0.38 to 0.72, and several traits were correlated. The PCA reduced these traits into three independent PCs, and all substantial component traits for these PCs were also significantly correlated. A number of univariate QTL were clustered closely, and some PC-QTL were detected in these regions. Some PC-QTL were found in chromosome regions where univariate QTL were not detected, again suggesting that these regions may have larger overall effects on ear architecture than suggested by univariate analyses. Collectively, these QTL may be useful for marker assisted introgression into germplasm more adapted to the U.S.
