Abstract
Wheat resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) has often been associated with some undesirable agronomic traits. To study the relationship between wheat FHB resistance and agronomic traits, we constructed a linkage map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an F6:8 population from G97252W × G97380A. The two hard winter wheat parents showed contrasts in FHB resistance, plant height (HT), heading date (HD), spike length (SL), spike compactness (SC), kernel number per spike (KNS), spikelet number per spike (SNS), thousand-grain weight (TGW) and grain size (length and width). Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping identified one major QTL (QFhb.hwwg-2DS) on chromosome arm 2DS for the percentage of symptomatic spikelets (PSS) in the spike, deoxynivalenol (DON) content and Fusarium damaged kernel (FDK). This QTL explained up to 71.8% of the phenotypic variation for the three FHB-related traits and overlapped with the major QTL for HT, HD, SL, KNS, SNS, TGW, and grain size. QTL on chromosome arms 2AL, 2DS, 3AL and 4BS were significant for the spike and grain traits measured. G97252W contributed FHB resistance and high SNS alleles at QFhb.hwwg-2DS, high KNS alleles at the QTL on 2AL and 2DS, and high TGW and grain size alleles at QTL on 3AL; whereas G97380A contributed high TGW and grain size alleles at the QTL on 2AL and 2DS, respectively, and the high KNS allele at the 4BS QTL. Combining QFhb.hwwg-2DS with positive alleles for spike and grain traits from other chromosomes may simultaneously improve FHB resistance and grain yield in new cultivars.

期刊介绍:
The major aims of The Crop Journal are to report recent progresses in crop sciences including crop genetics, breeding, agronomy, crop physiology, germplasm resources, grain chemistry, grain storage and processing, crop management practices, crop biotechnology, and biomathematics.
The regular columns of the journal are Original Research Articles, Reviews, and Research Notes. The strict peer-review procedure will guarantee the academic level and raise the reputation of the journal. The readership of the journal is for crop science researchers, students of agricultural colleges and universities, and persons with similar academic levels.
