- Abstract
The uptake and utilization of nitrogen (N) by plants are affected by the different forms of N in the soil. In this study, eight morphological traits at the seedling stage were investigated using a set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs). Three hydroponic culture experiments were conducted using three different NO/NH ratios (T1 at 50/50 %, T2 at 100/0 % and T3 at 0/100 %). The investigated traits in T2 and T1 were significantly higher than T3 in all three experiments, indicating that NO promoted or NH suppressed the production of biomass. Comparing T1 with T2, NO significantly increased the values of root fresh weight (RFW), total fresh weight (TFW) and root dry weight (RDW) and significantly decreased shoot dry weight (SDW). A total of 147 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the eight traits were detected on 18 chromosomes (except 2A, 3D and 4D). Among them, 16 QTLs (QRfw-1A, QRfw-1D, QSfw-1D, QSfw-2B.1, QTfw-1A, QTfw-1D, QRsfw-2B, QRsfw-3B.1, QRdw-1A.1, QRdw-1A.2, QSdw-6B.1, QSdw-7A.1, QTdw-1A.1, QRsdw-1A.1, QRsdw-5A.1 and QRsdw-7A.1) were detected in more than three of the nine treatment-experiments, and most of the 16 QTLs made large contributions of approximately 15 %. Surprisingly, QRsfw-4A.1 and QRsfw-4A.2 explained as much as 47.9 and 55.5 % of the phenotypic variation, respectively. Thirteen important QTL clusters (C1-C13) with more than four QTLs and involving 66 QTLs (44.9 %) were mapped on chromosomes 1A, 1D, 2B, 2D, 4A, 4B, 5B, 5D, 6B, 7A and 7B.
