摘要： Exploiting genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to maize (Zea mays L.) alkaline tolerance is helpful for improving alkaline resistance. To explore the inheritance of maize alkaline tolerance at the seedling stage, a mapping population comprising 151 F-2:3 lines derived from the maize cross between Zheng58, tolerant to alkaline, and Chang7-2, sensitive to alkaline, was used to establish a genetic linkage map with 200 SSR loci across the 10 maize linkage groups, with an average interval of 6.5 cM between adjacent markers. QTLs for alkaline resistant traits of alkaline tolerance rating (ATR), germination rate (GR), relative conductivity (RC), weight per plant (WPP) and proline content (PC) were detected. The obtained results were as follows: Five QTLs on chromosomes 2, 5 and 6 (GR and WPP: chr. 2; PC and ATR: chr. 5; and RC: chr. 6) were mapped. For precise mapping of the QTLs related to alkaline resistance, two bulked deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) pools were constructed using individual DNAs from the most tolerant 30 F-2 individuals and the most sensitive 30 F-2 individuals according to the ATR and used to establish a high density map of SLAF markers strongly associated with the ATR by specific locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-Seq) combined with super bulked segregant analysis (superBSA). One marker-intensive region involved three SLAFs at 296,000-6,203,000 bp on chromosome 5 that were closely related to the ATR. Combined with preliminary QTL mapping with superBSA, two major QTLs on chromosome 5 associated with alkaline tolerance at the maize seedling stage were mapped to marker intervals of dCap-SLAF31521 and dCap-SLAF31535 and phi024 and dCap-SLAF31521, respectively. These QTL regions involved 9 and 75 annotated genes, respectively. These results will be helpful for improving maize alkaline tolerance at the seedling stage by marker-assisted selection programs and will be useful for fine mapping QTLs for maize breeding.
