Abstract
With the population of 104 F7-derived recombinant inbred (RI) lines from Wangshuibai (resistance to Fusarium head blight) and Alondra (Susceptible) as mapping population, the wheat genetic map consisting of 2 RAPDs, 109 SSRs and 105 AFLPs markers was constructed by JoinMap 3.0 software. Up to 24 of the 25 identified linkage groups were identified to the chromosome. The FHB resistance of RI lines was evaluated by natural infection and soil surface inoculation in Jianyang and Suzhou for two years. Resistance to FHB was inherited in a quantitative manner and controlled by few genes with major effects, but the expression of these resistance genes was strongly affected by environment. Some 10 QTLs, 8 derived from Wangshuibai and 2 from Alondra, associated with FHB resistance, were detected using MapQTL 4.0 software. They were located on the chromosomes 2A, 3B, 4A, 4D, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A and explained 8.3-23.6% of the phenotypic variance for FHB resistance, respectively. The flanking markers of QTL may be used in the breeding for resistance to FHB by marker-assisted selection
