Abstract
Alkaline soil restricts soybean plant growth and yield. In our previous study, a major alkaline salt tolerance quantitative trait locus (QTL) was identified in soybean on chromosome 17. In this study, the residual heterozygous line (RHL46), which was selected from a population of F6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between an alkaline salt-sensitive soybean cultivar Jackson and a tolerant wild soybean accession JWS156-1, was used for validation and high-resolution mapping of the QTL. In a large segregating population (n = 1,109), which was produced by self-pollinating heterozygotes of RHL46, segregation of alkaline salt tolerance showed a continuous distribution, and the tolerant plants were predominant. Linkage mapping analysis revealed a major QTL with a large dominant effect for alkaline salt tolerance, and the highest LOD score was detected between the single sequence repeat (SSR) markers GM17-12.2 and Satt447. Furthermore, 10 fixed recombinant lines carrying chromosome fragments of different lengths in the QTL region were selected from the RHL46 progeny. Phenotype evaluation and SSR marker analysis of the recombinant lines narrowed down the QTL to a 3.33-cM interval region between the markers GM17-11.6 and Satt447 with a physical map length of approximately 771 kb. High-resolution mapping of the alkaline salt tolerance QTL will be useful not only for marker-assisted selection in soybean breeding programs but also for map-based cloning of the alkaline salt tolerance gene in order to understand alkaline salt tolerance in soybean and other plant species.
