A novel quantitative trait loci governs prolificacy in ‘Sikkim Primitive’ – A unique maize (Zea mays) landrace of North‐Eastern Himalaya

Abstract: ‘Sikkim Primitive’ is a prolific maize landrace with five to nine ears per plant. Though the landrace was discovered in 1960s, loci governing the prolificacy was not identified. Here, a prolific inbred ‘MGUSP101’ developed from ‘Sikkim Primitive’ was crossed with two nonprolific inbreds, namely, HKI1128 and UMI1200. Two F2:3 populations (MGUSP101 × HKI1128 and MGUSP101 × UMI1200) were evaluated at three locations. Across locations, number of ears per plant varied from 1.35 to 5.38 in MGUSP101 × HKI1128 populat… Show more

“…1 in a maize-teosinte BC 2 S 3 population, at a chromosomal location that had previously been shown to influence domestication traits and shown to correspond to the expression regulatory region of grassy tillers1 ( gt1 ), encoding a homeodomain leucine zipper transcription factor ( Wills et al., 2013 ). More recently, major multi-node prolificacy QTLs were mapped in different crosses ( Prakash et al., 2021 ; Wang et al., 2021 ).…”

“…Chinese wheat landraces have higher grain Zn and Fe concentrations than wheat cultivars have and can thus serve as a potential genetic resource for enhancing grain mineral levels in modern wheat cultivars [ 13 ]. Notably, a locus regulating prolificacy was revealed in the prolific maize landrace ‘Sikkim Primitive’ [ 14 ]. Research on landraces is important for understanding plant genetics, trait regulation mechanisms and the breeding process.…”
