Abstract
Northeast of China is the main soybean production area, drought and low-temperature tolerance are both main factors involved in reducing soybean yield and limiting planting regions, the most effective way to solve this problem is to breed cultivars with drought and low-temperature tolerance. A set of the BC(2)F(3) lines was constructed with Hongfeng 11 as recurrent parent and Harosoy as donor parent, and screened in drought and low-temperature condition at the germination stage. Related QTLs were obtained by Chi-test and ANOVA analysis with genotypic and phenotypic data. Eighteen QTLs of drought tolerance and 23 QTLs of low-temperature tolerance were detected. Among them, 12 QTLs were correlated with both drought and low-temperature tolerance, which showed a partial genetic overlap between drought and low-temperature tolerance at the germination stage in soybean. Among the 12 genetic overlap QTLs, Satt253, Satt513, Satt693, Satt240, Satt323, and Satt255 were detected by at least one method for both drought and low-temperature tolerance. Satt557, Satt452, Sat_331, Satt338, Satt271, and Satt588 were detected by only one analysis method. The QTLs detected above were significant loci for drought or low-temperature tolerance in soybean. This will play an important role in MAS for development of both drought and low-temperature tolerance variety.
