Abstract: 【Objective】The under-ear internode length determines maize seedling height and ear height, which are two agronomic traits associated with yield and lodging resistance. Heterosis, a wild-spread genetic phenomenon, is widely applied in crop yield and quality improvement. In a previous study, the lengths of the 7th, 8th and 9th internodes were found to have a decisive effect on ear height and showed a high degree of heterosis. The aim of this study is to resolve the molecular mechanism of heterosis for comprehensive understanding and utilization of heterosis.【Method】 In this study, the chromosome single segment substitution lines (Single segment substitution lines, SSSLs) derived from continually cross of lx9801 and Chang7-2 were used as the basic materials. Test-crossing populations were constructed by crossing the SSSLs with inbred lines Zheng58 and Xun9058, respectively. The HL(Heterosis loci) of the 7th, 8th, and 9th internode length were detected through two-year and two-point tests.【Result】By using the SSSL×Zheng58 test-cross group and SSSL× Xun9058 test-cross group, the heterosis loci (HL) of the 7th, 8th, and 9th internode length were detected through two-year and two-point tests. In 2012, the mid parent heterosis values of the 7th, 8th, and 9th internode length in Xunxian were 57.25% and 78.16%, 68.30% and 75.04%, 59.48% and 62.85%, respectively, and that in Changge were 48.27% and 63.02%, 43.36% and 54.80%, 37.26% and 42.62%, respectively. In 2013, the mid parent heterosis values of the 7th, 8th, and 9th internode length in Xunxian were 23.01% and 37%, 22.69% and 35.65%, 22.20% and 34.74%, respectively, and that in Changge were 21.86% and 33.19%, 20.99% and 35.57%, 27.55% and 42.19%, respectively. A total of 18 and 18 length heterosis loci were obtained from the 7th internode, 20 and 23 were obtained from the 8th internode, 17 and 19 were obtained from the 9th internode. Compared the same HL of the two test-crossing groups, there are 3, 3 and 1 same HL of 7th, 8th, 9th internode length, respectively. These same HL occupied 12.7% and 11.6% of the total HL numbers, respectively. 【Conclusion】There were only 7 (6%) same HL sites had same location between SSSL×Zheng58 group and SSSL×Xun9058 group of the 7th, 8th, and 9th internode length, which indicated that the heterotic loci among different groups may be different. It was speculated that under different genetic backgrounds there are different genes controlling the same heterosis traits. The performance of heterotic loci at single gene level should be crossing group (genetic background) specific.
