Abstract

The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) is an important pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in North America since it was first reported in 2000. PI 567541B is a newly discovered aphid resistance germplasm with early maturity characteristics. The objectives of this study were to map and validate the aphid resistance genes in PI 567541B using molecular markers. A mapping population of 228 F3 derived lines was investigated for the aphid resistance in both field and greenhouse trials. Two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling the aphid resistance were found using the composite interval mapping method. These two QTLs were localized on linkage groups (LGs) F and M. PI 567541B conferred resistant alleles at both loci. An additive × additive interaction between these two QTLs was identified using the multiple interval mapping method. These two QTLs combined with their interaction explained most of the phenotypic variation in both field and greenhouse trials. In general, the QTL on LG F had less effect than the one on LG M, especially in the greenhouse trial. These two QTLs were further validated using an independent population. The effects of these two QTLs were also confirmed using 50 advanced breeding lines, which were all derived from PI 567541B and had various genetic backgrounds. Hence, these two QTLs identified and validated in this study could be useful in improving soybean aphid resistance by marker-assisted selection.
