Abstract: The sulfonylurea herbicide, nicosulfuron, has been used widely and rapidly for weed control, because its advantages such as low application rates,low toxicity, broad-spectrum and flexible application. A total of 81 corn inbreds including Wny-1 and yn-6 were evaluated for tolerance to nicosulfuron. F1, BC1 populations were constructed on the basis of the hybridization between Wny-1 and yn-6 and were used for genetic analysis of nicosulfuron sensi- tivity. Sensitive plants in BC1 population were used for mapping this gene with SSR markers. Of 81 inbreds evalua- ted,73 were resistant and 8 were susceptible. A single recessive nuclear gene which was located on the short arm of chromosome 5 determined sensitivity to nicosulfuron in yn-6. This gene was mapped between 5S-96 and 5S-78 with physical distance of 0.18 Mb and temporarily named nsfy.

Key words: Sulfonylurea, Sensitivity, Genetic analysis, Gene mapping
