摘要： Variation in flowering plays a major role in maize photoperiod adaptation during long-term domestication. It is of high value to investigate the genetic basis of maize flowering under a wide range of environmental conditions in order to overcome photoperiod sensitivity or enhance stress tolerance. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between Huangzaosi and Mo17, composed of 121 lines and genotyped by 8329 specifically developed markers, was field evaluated in two consecutive years under two planting densities (67,500 and 120,000 plants ha(-1)) and two water treatments (normal irrigation and drought stress at the flowering stage). The days to silking (DTS), days to anthesis (DTA), and anthesis to silking interval (ASI) were all evaluated. Within the RIL population, DTS and DTA expanded as planting density and water deficit increased. For DTA, DTS, ASI, and ASI-delay, a total of 22, 17, 21, and 11 QTLs were identified, respectively. More than two significant QTLs were identified in each of the nine chromosomal intervals. Under diverse conditions and locations, six QTLs (quantitative trait locus) for DTS and DTA were discovered in Chr. 8: 118.13-125.31 Mb. Three chromosome regions, Chr. 3: 196.14-199.89 Mb, Chr. 8: 169.02-172.46 Mb, and Chr. 9: 128.12-137.26 Mb, all had QTLs for ASI-delay under normal and stress conditions, suggesting their possible roles in stress tolerance enhancement. These QTL hotspots will promote early-maturing or multiple abiotic stress-tolerant maize breeding, as well as shed light on the development of maize varieties with a broad range of adaptations.
