Plant height has become one of important agronomic tra its with the increase of planting density recently and the rapid developments of molecular markers have provided powerf ul tools to local ize important a2 gronomic QTL at the genomic level . The purposes of this investigation are to map plant height QTL with molecular markers and to analyze their genetic effects in ma ize. An F2∶ 3 population from an el ite combination ( Zong3×8721) was util ized f or evaluating plant height in t wo locations , Wuhan and Xiangfan , with a ran2 domized complete block design. The mapping population included 266 F2∶ 3 family l ines. A genetic l inkage map , conta ining 150 SSR and 24 RFL P markers , was constructed , spanning a total of 2 531. 6 cm with an av2 erage interval of 14. 5 cm. Totally 10 QTL affecting plant height were mapped on six different chromosomes with the composite interval mapping. Seven of 10 QTL were detected in t wo locations. The contributions to phenotypic variations f or the single QTL varied bet ween 5. 3 and 17. 1 %. Additive , partial dominance , domi2 nance , and overdominance actions existed among all detected QTL affecting plant heights. A large number of digenic interactions f or plant height were detected by t wo2way analyses of variance. 107 and 98 t wo2locus com2 binations were f ound to be signif icant at a 0. 01 probabil ity level in t wo locations respectively. 23 of them were simultaneously detected in both locations. They accounted f or phenotypic variations of 4. 5 11 %. It was no2 ticed that a locus , umc1122 , had digenic interactive effects with other f our different loci f or plant height , which distributed on three chromosomes. A fe w of plant height QTL was involved in signif icant digenic inter2 actions , but most signif icant interactions occurred bet ween markers that are not adjacent to mapped QTL. These results demonstrated that epistatic interactions might play an equal importance role as the single2locus effects in determining plant height of ma ize.
