摘要: Maize ear traits are an important component of yield, and the genetic basis of ear traits facilitates further yield improvement. In this study, a panel of 580 maize inbred lines were used as the study material, eight ear-related traits were measured through three years of planting, and whole genome sequencing was performed using the maize 40 K breeding chip based on genotyping by targeted sequencing (GBTS) technology. Five models were used to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on best linear unbiased estimate (BLUE) of ear traits to find the best model. The FarmCPU (Fixed and random model Circulating Probability Unification) model was the best model for this study; a total of 104 significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected, and 10 co-location SNPs were detected simultaneously in more than two environments. Through gene function annotation and prediction, a total of nine genes were identified as potentially associated with ear traits. Moreover, a total of 760 quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with yield-related traits reported in 37 different articles were collected. Using the collected 760 QTL for meta-QTL analysis, a total of 41 MQTL (meta-QTL) associated with yield-related traits were identified, and 19 MQTL detected yield-related ear trait functional genes and candidate genes that have been reported in maize. Five significant SNPs detected by GWAS were located within these MQTL intervals, and another three significant SNPs were close to MQTL (less than 1 Mb). The results provide a theoretical reference for the analysis of the genetic basis of ear-related traits and the improvement of maize yield.
