Abstract:

Plant height and its relative traits are key factors that affect plant type and yield of sorghum. Mapping major QTL for these traits may provide a basis for genetic improvement in sorghum. In this study, a RI population including 205 lines obtained from a cross between American cultivar BTx623 and Guizhou liquor-brewing cultivar Hongyingzi was used to investigate plant height and internode numbers under five environments. The genetic map was constructed based on genotype data from Super-GBS technology, and major QTLs were identified by inclusive composite interval mapping(ICIM). Totally, eighteen major QTLs were detected on chromosome 1, 3, 4, 8, and 9, of which 7 and 11 QTLs were related to plant height and internode numbers, respectively. Ten major QTLs were repeatedly detected in multiple environments or two traits, of which qPH9.1 was consistent with the known plant high gene Dw1, while qPH1.2, qPH3.2, qIN3.2 and qIN8.1 were colocalized with four homologous genes involving in plant height or internode elongation in rice.
