Abstract: Through the comparisons of QTL for seed dormancy between maize and wheat, it was observed that there were remarkable conserved relationships of QTL for seed dormancy between maize and wheat. 7 QTL for seed dormancy which were detected on the chromosome 1, 3 and 8 of maize, are conserved with wheat. These results will be helpful to study the organization and evolution of maize and the grass genomes.
