Abstract: In order to uncover the genetic characteristics of dwarf gene from a dwarf mutant “819”, and provide theoretical basis for the subsequent locating of dwarf mutant gene ten traits' including plant height, ear length, neck length, tiller number, stem node number, length of second panicle branch 1, length of second panicle branch 2, length of second panicle branch 3 and so on were investigated for Panicum miliaceum L. crossing parents dwarf mutant “819”, high-stem material J12 and their 674 F2 individuals, and further variance analysis, cartesian inspection, correlation and regression analysis, principal component analysis were performed for these traits. The results showed that dwarf trait of dwarf mutant “819” was a recessive trait controlled by a single gene. A significantly positive correlation was found between plant height and ear length, tiller number, stem node number, secondary branch length 1, secondary branch length 2, secondary branch length 3, secondary branch distance 1 (P<0.01), and a significant positive correlation was found between plant height and secondary branch spacing 2 (P<0.05). The regression equation of plant height (Y) and other agronomic traits was as follow: Y=-18.446+1.491X1+1.222X2+6.827X4+1.319X7+0.746X8, and the fitting degree of which was 0.811. The regression equation reached significant level (P<0.01) and could be used to predict the plant height. Three principal components were obtained by principal component analysis for 10 characters of F2 population, which accounted for 72.656% of the cumulative contribution rate. These three principal components were named as length factor, stem node number factor and branch spacing factor respectively. The results above provided basis for locating dwarf gene and evaluating, selecting of dwarf offsprings.
