The senescence parameters chlorophyll content （Chl a＋b, Chl a, and Chl b）, original fluorescence （Fo）, maximum fluorescence level （Fm）, maximum photochemical efficiency （FvlFm）, and ratio of variable fluorescence to original fluorescence （FvlFo） were evaluated in the second leaf of whole three-leaf seedlings subjected to 7 d of darkness. A total of 43 QTLs were identified that were associated with dark-induced senescence using composite interval mapping. These QTLs were mapped to 20 loci distributed on 11 chromosomes： 1B, 1D, 2A, 2B, 3B, 3D, 5D, 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B. The phenotypic variation explained by each QTL ranged from 7.5% to 19.4%. Eleven loci coincided with two or more of the analyzed parameters. In addition, 14 loci co-located or were linked with previously reported QTLs regulating flag leaf senescence, tolerance to high light stress, and grain protein content （Gpc）, separately.展开更多
