Popping characteristics of derived lines from popcorn × dent or flint corn crosses play a determinant role in popcorn breeding. Advanced backcross QTL methods can effectively combine QTL identification and plant breeding. 220 selected BC2F2 families developed from a cross between Dan 232, a dent corn inbred line, and N04, an elite popcorn inbred line, were evaluated for three popping characteristics, popping volume, flake size, and popping rate, under two environmental conditions. Using composite interval mapping, a total of 10 significant QTLs were detected, and of these, 2 to 4 QTLs were identified for each trait. Six QTLs had favorable alleles contributed by Dan 232. Comparison with the 15 QTLs detected in the F2：3 families showed that 3 QTLs were the same in both populations. The QTLs should be redetected in generations developed through severe selection. Improved N04 and near isogenic lines could be developed from this BC2F2 population through selfing or another 1 to 2 backcrosses with N04.展开更多

There are WSP (water-soluble polysaccharides), sucrose, fructose, glucose, mannitol and sorbitol in both sweet corn and normal corn, but no maltose. Two components with different degrees of polymerization (D. P. N) were detected in the sweet corn; only one of them was detected in the normal corn 20 days after pollination. With the development of grains, the total soluble sugar content(TSS)in sweet corn increased, but in normal corn it decreased. The dynamic variation of WSP, sucrose, glucose, fructose, mannitol and sorbitol in sweet and normal corn grains are different. The contents of sugar components in the sweet corn grains are higher than that in the normal corn. Sweet corn accumulates less starch than normal corn.展开更多
