Abstract:

In this study, 23 single segment substitution lines of maize 8th chromosome were obtained by successive backcross and marker assisted selection with T32 and J51, the common inbred lines of maize in Guizhou, as donor and acceptor, respectively. Then, method of natural inoculation was used to identify the resistance to maize gray spot, and 65 pairs of SSR markers that located on the 8th chromosome with obvious polymorphic differences between two parents were used for the following detection of substitution lines. The genetic structure of donor fragments of the substitution lines was evaluated by 29 SSR markers on the 8th chromosome. The results showed that 23 chromosome single-segment substitution lines had different donor fragment sites and length of the substitution fragment was 10.40-129.70 cM, the average length was 36.99 cM, total length of the imported fragment was 850.67 cM, and coverage rate of the replacement fragments on 8th chromosomes was 80.80%. Disease-resistant result showed four kinds of phenotypes: resistant, moderately resistant, susceptible and highly susceptible. Among them, the line of H3 and H17 were identified as resistant, with the two years average disease grade of 2.85 and 2.90, respectively. Two resistant lines were screened out in this study, which could be used as follow-up research materials and lay a foundation for resistant maize breeding to gray leaf spot.
