Abstract: In order to further clarify the inheritance of flowering time of Brassica napus L., and guide the breeding of early maturing varieties, the late flowering YG-1 and the early flowering 72-27-1-2 of Brassica napus L. were used as parents to constructed 6 generations of genetic populations(P1, P2, F1, B1, B2 and F2), which were planted in Yangling and Sanyuan. The flowering time of individual plants from the 6 populations was recorded, and the genetic analysis was conducted by main gene+polygene genetic model of plant quantitative traits. Based on SSR molecular marker technology, the F2 population was used to develop the molecular markers related to flowering time of rapeseed. The results showed that the optimal genetic model for flowering time was E-0(2 pairs of additive-dominant-epistatic major gene+additive-dominant-epistatic polygene model) and E-1(2 pairs of additive-dominant-epistatic major gene+additive-dominant polygene model) in Yangling and Sanyuan, respectively. The major gene heritability of flowering time in separating generations B1, B2 and F2 was 57.12%, 79.44% and 66.37% for Yangling, and 54.51%, 65.43% and 43.21% for Sanyuan, respectively. The polygenic heritability was 33.80%, 8.47% and 25.62% for Yangling, and 25.42%, 4.70% and 37.65% for Sanyuan, respectively. The variation caused by environmental factors in Yangling and Sanyuan was 9.73% and 23.03%, respectively. The genetic rates of main genes in the isolating generations(especially B2 generation) were significantly greater than those of corresponding polygenes, indicating that the flowering time of Brassica napus L. was mainly controlled by two pairs of major genes, which was effective for selection of ideal flowering time in early generations. However the effects of multiple genes and environmental factors should also be considered. Seven SSR molecular markers related to flowering time sites were obtained, their relationships being significant or extremely significant. The labeled primer sequences were blasted in the genome data of Brassica napus, showing that BrgMS351 and BnGMS148 were located on A7, while cnu_m157a, BnGMS256-1, BnGMS256-2, BnGMS327 and BnGMS370-2 were located on A9. The results suggested that the flowering-related loci might be located on A7 and A9, controlled by two QTLs, which were consistent with the results of genetic analysis of quantitative model that flowering time was controlled by two pairs of major genes.
