摘要： In underdeveloped nations where low-input agriculture is practiced, low phosphorus (LP) in the soil reduces the production of maize. In the present study, a total of 550 inbred maize lines were assessed for seedling traits under LP (2.5 x 10(-6) mol L-1 of KH2PO4) and NP (2.5 x 10(-4) mol L-1 of KH2PO4) hydroponic conditions. The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of variation present in the measured traits, estimate the genetic involvement of these characteristics, examine the phenotypic correlation coefficients between traits, and to integrate this information to prepare a multi-trait selection index for LP tolerance in maize. A great deal of variability in the maize genotype panel was confirmed by descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Estimated broad-sense heritability (h(2)) ranged from 0.7 to 0.91, indicating intermediate to high heritability values for the measured traits. A substantial connection between MSL and other root traits suggested that the direct selection of MSL (maximum shoot length) could be beneficial for the enhancement of other traits. The principal component analysis (PCA) of the first two main component axes explained approximately 81.27% of the variation between lines for the eight maize seedling variables. TDM (total dry matter), SDW (shoot dry weight), RDW (root dry weight), SFW (shoot fresh weight), RFW (root fresh weight), MRL (maximum root length), and MSL measurements accounted for the majority of the first principal component (59.35%). The multi-trait indices were calculated based on PCA using all the measured traits, and 30 genotypes were selected. These selected lines might be considered as the potential source for the improvement of LP tolerance in maize.
