Identification of quantitative trait loci underlying resistance of soybean to Fusarium graminearum

Fusarium graminearum could cause serious yield loss of soybean. Host resistance could offer an economical and effective way to control F. graminearum . The aims of this study were to identify and confirm quantitative trait loci ( QTL s) underlying resistance to F. graminearum , and to analyse the genetic effects of pyramid resistance QTL on resistance level. A total of 140 F 2:14 recombinant inbred lines ( RIL s) were constructed via the cross...
