| Abstract: | One of the most important agronomic problems in the production of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in humid climates is pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). A molecular linkage map was developed using 112molecular markers
in an F2 mapping population derived from a cross between IS 9530 (high resistance to PHS) and Redland B2 (susceptible to PHS). Two
year phenotypic data was obtained. By means of interval mapping analysis, two significant QTL were detected in two different
linkage groups with LOD scores of 8.77and 4.39. Each of these two QTL individually explained approximately 53% of the phenotypic
variance, but together, in a two-QTL model, they explained 83% of the phenotypic variance with a LOD score of 12.37.These
results were corroborated by a one-way ANOVA in which the four flanking markers of the most likely QTL positions displayed
highly significant values in theF-test, and significant variation in trait expression was associated with marker genotypic classes. The four markers with highest
effect in the one-way ANOVA were also detected in the second year replication of the F2 population, and significant genotype × environment interactions was observed. The putative relationship between PHS resistance
in sorghum and the maize Vp1 gene is also discussed.
