The purposes of this investigation are to map plant height QTL with molecular markers and to analyze their genetic effects in maize. An F 2∶3 population from an elite combination (Zong3×87-1) was utilized for evaluating plant height in two locations, Wuhan and Xiangfan, with a randomized complete block design. The mapping population included 266 F 2∶3 family lines. A genetic linkage map, containing 150 SSR and 24 RFLP markers, was constructed, spanning a total of 2 531.6 cm with an average interval of 14.5 cm. Totally 10 QTL affecting plant height were mapped on six different chromosomes with the composite interval mapping. Seven of 10 QTL were detected in two locations. The contributions to phenotypic variations for the single QTL varied between 5.3 and 17.1%. Additive, partial dominance, dominance, and overdominance actions existed among all detected QTL affecting plant heights. A large number of digenic interactions for plant height were detected by two-way analyses of variance. 107 and 98 two-locus combinations were found to be significant at a 0.01 probability level in two locations respectively. 23 of them were simultaneously detected in both locations. They accounted for phenotypic variations of 4.511%. It was noticed that a locus, umc1122, had digenic interactive effects with other four different loci for plant height, which distributed on three chromosomes. A few of plant height QTL was involved in significant digenic interactions, but most significant interactions occurred between markers that are not adjacent to mapped QTL. These results demonstrated that epistatic interactions might play an equal importance role as the single-locus effects in determining plant height of maize.展开更多

General visual cryptography has no stacking order dependence, and only one image can be decoded regardless of stacking order of encrypted images. We previously reported a color visual cryptography using interference color (or polarization color) of retarder films. The interference color changes depending on the stacking order of retarder films. In this paper, we propose and develop a color visual cryptography that displays two images by changing stacking order of retarder films.展开更多

Conventional visual cryptography can display only monochrome images. We previously proposed a color visual cryptography method that uses the interference color of high-order retarder films and encrypts one secret image into two encrypted images. In other words, this method can only encrypt one image at a time. In this paper, we propose a new method that encrypts two color images using interference color.展开更多
