摘要: Although the use of heterosis in maize breeding has increased crop productivity, the genetic causes underlying heterosis for nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) have been insufficiently investigated. In this study, five N-response traits and five low-N-tolerance traits were investigated using two inbred line populations (ILs) consisting of recombinant inbred lines (RIL) and advanced backcross (ABL) populations, derived from crossing Ye478 with Wu312. Both populations were crossed with P178 to construct two testcross populations. IL populations, their testcross populations, and the midparent heterosis (MPH) for NUE were investigated. Kernel weight, kernel number, and kernel number per row were sensitive to N level and ILs showed higher N response than did the testcross populations. Based on a highdensity linkage map, 138 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were mapped, each explaining 5.6%-38.8% of genetic variation. There were 52, 34 and 52 QTL for IL populations, MPH, and testcross populations, respectively. The finding that 7.6% of QTL were common to the ILs and their testcross populations and that 11.7% were common to the MPH and testcross population indicated that heterosis for NUE traits was regulated by non-additive and non-dominant loci. A QTL on chromosome 5 explained 27% of genetic variation in all of the traits and Gln1-3 was identified as a candidate gene for this QTL. Genome-wide prediction of NUE traits in the testcross populations showed 14%-51% accuracy. Our results may be useful for clarifying the genetic basis of heterosis for NUE traits and the candidate gene may be used for genetic improvement of maize NUE. & COPY; 2023 Crop Science Society of China and Institute of Crop Science, CAAS.
