Abstract
The Oh43×W64A (OhW) maize (Zea mays L.) mapping population (MP‐3, NSL 511549 MAP) consists of 255 recombinant inbred lines (RILs). This mapping population was constructed from a cross between inbred lines Oh43 (Ames 19288) and W64A (PI 587152). Our primary goal was to develop a mapping population segregating for a large number of important agronomic traits using a cross of lines that formed a heterotic hybrid used in the northern Corn Belt. Genetic markers were scored using genotyping‐by‐sequencing technology, and a high‐density genetic map was constructed using the single nucleotide polymorphism data. A wide range of phenotypic diversity among individuals, and transgressive segregation, was observed for all traits measured. The registration of this RIL mapping population provides geneticists and breeders with a highly diverse set of lines in combination with a dense genetic map that can be utilized to identify quantitative trait loci at high mapping resolution.
