Phaeosphaeria leaf spot (PLS) is a potentially important disease of maize (Zea mays) that has appeared in winter breeding nurseries in southern Florida. Inbred lines related to B73 are particularly susceptible to Phaeosphaeria leaf spot, whereas inbreds related to Mo17 are highly resistant. A previous study of the inheritance of resistance to Phaeosphaeria leaf spot in the cross B73 × Mo17 found that resistance is highly heritable and controlled by mostly additive gene action at three or four loci. In this study, we used 158 recombinant inbred (RI) lines derived from the cross B73 × Mo17 to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) governing resistance. The RI lines along with the parent inbred lines and the F1 were evaluated for PLS resistance in replicated trials over two winter growing seasons in southern Florida. Using the composite interval mapping (CIM) function of PLABQTL software, five QTL on four different chromosomes were found to control PLS resistance in Mo17. In addition, the × additive interaction between two of these QTL was found to be significant. Our results are in close agreement with the previous study, where generation mean analysis was used to study the inheritance of resistance to PLS.

The properties of alleles at quantitative trait loci (QTLs) contributing to variation in lifespan should be described to determine the mechanisms of evolution of life length and to predict its future changes. Previously, we and others conducted genome-wide screens for QTLs that segregate among one panel of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) using a dense molecular marker map. In non-stressful conditions, QTLs effecting the lifespans of virgin females and males were frequently sex specific. In an unrelated panel of RILs, the effects of QTLs in flies maintained in cages with mixed sexes were similar in both sexes. Here, we re-measured the lifespans of the former panel of RILs in cages with mixed sex cohorts. Lifespan declined owing to mating. The amount of decline correlated between sexes within lines. QTLs mapping to the intervals 15A–19C, 50B–57C, 63A–65A, and 96F–99B had similar effects on the lifespans of both males and females. These QTLs have previously been detected in virgin flies surveys and had sex- and/or environment-specific effects.
