摘要：

Allelic effects observed in QTL discovery experiments must be confirmed to be useful in subsequent breeding efforts. Two QTL affecting seed yield of spring hybrid canola (Brassica napus L.) were previously identified in two populations of inbred backcross lines (IBLs) containing germplasm introgressed from a winter cultivar. The effects of favorable alleles at these QTL were retested by crossing two selected IBLs (M5 and M31) to three spring canola lines having different genetic backgrounds. Doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from each F1 were genotyped with RFLP markers flanking the QTL and grouped into the four possible QTL genotypes. For the first field experiment, DH lines derived by crossing the M5 line to one spring line were crossed to two female testers and evaluated as individual testcross progenies in one environment. QTL genotypes had large variances and were not significantly different. A second field experiment was conducted using the DH lines from the first experiment and two other sets of DH lines derived from the M31 line crossed to two different spring canola lines. Individual lines within each QTL genotype of each set were bulked and crossed to the same testers used in Experiment 1. Bulked hybrid seeds of each QTL genotype were planted in a split-split plot randomized block design and 12 replicates. QTL genotypes had smaller variances in this experiment, and the effects of one QTL were confirmed in some genetic backgrounds. These results suggest that bulking of QTL genotypes and use of an appropriate experimental design with many replicates are needed to detect small differences between QTL genotypes.
