Using a high density bin map to analyze quantitative trait locis of germination ability of maize at low temperatures.

ABSTRACT: Low temperatures in the spring often lead to a decline in the emergence rate and uniformity of maize, which can affect yield in northern regions. This study used 365 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), which arose from crossing Qi319 and Ye478, to identify low-temperature resistance during the germination stage by measuring eight low-temperature-related traits. The quantitative trait locis (QTLs) were mapped using R/qtl software by combining phenotypic data, and the genotyping by sequencing (GBS) method to produce a high-density genetic linkage map. Twenty QTLs were detected during QTL mapping, of which seven QTLs simultaneously detected a consistent 197.10-202.30 Mb segment on chromosome 1. The primary segment was named cQTL1-2, with a phenotypic variation of 5.18-25.96% and a
