RESUMO

The objectives of this work were to study the inheritance of resistance to anthracnose leaf blight, estimate the genetic parameters, and identify molecular markers associated with resistance genes to this disease. Genetic parameters were estimated based on the analysis of mixed inheritance models in six generations of four crosses between two resistant (DAS4 and DAS3) and two susceptible inbred lines (DAS6 and DAS22). The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks containing split-plots, with three replicates, where the plots were represented by crosses and the subplots were the generations. The plants were inoculated artificially and evaluated in two experiments by means of a rating scale from 1 to 6. The hypothesis testing to select the genetic inheritance model and parameter estimates were obtained by the maximum likelihood method. The results from the mixed models analysis indicated that resistance is controlled by a major gene in all crosses and experiments evaluated, and also by polygenes in at least one experiment. The genetic action is additive and dominant, with predominance of additive genetic effects. QRL mapping was performed using 141 F1RC1 individuals from the (DAS6 × DAS4) × DAS6 cross, based on the phenotypic evaluation of their families, in two experiments. The experimental design was a 12 × 12 lattice which included the families, parents, and the hybrid, with 3 replicates. The plants were inoculated artificially and evaluated by means of a rating scale from 1 to 6. QRL mapping, using microsatellites and AFLPs markers, and bulked segregant analysis to detect candidate markers was performed by multiple linear regression analysis (MLR) and by composite interval mapping (CIM). Both methodologies of analysis identified at least one QRL in chromosome 10 in each experiment. QRLs were also detected, by MLR only, in chromosomes 2, 3 and 5. The QRLs identified by MLR explained 25.7%, 23.3%, and 24.5% of the phenotypic variation in the experiment 1, in the experiment 2 and in the joint analysis, respectively. The QRLs identified by CIM, however, explained 28.9%, 32.3%, and 31.0% of the phenotypic variation in the experiment 1, in the experiment 2 and in the joint analysis, respectively. The bulked segregant analysis only allowed the detection of QRLs that showed the more expressive phenotypic effects located in chromosome 10. In most detected QRLs, the resistance alleles came from the resistant parent. The identification of these QRLs offers a significant contribution to an understanding of resistance to anthracnose leaf blight in maize, and could lead to the identification of genes and to an elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the expression of resistance.
