Common cutworm (CCW) is a serious herbivorous insect pest of soybean. Previously, we conducted an antixenosis bioassay (measuring feeding preference) with CCW using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between a wild soybean (Glycine soja) collected in Hiroshima prefecture (JP110755) and the leading cultivar, Fukuyutaka. The analysis revealed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for antixenosis resistance, qRslx3 and qRslx4. In the present study we developed another RIL population using Fukuyutaka and a different G. soja, collected in Kumamoto prefecture (G406). An analysis revealed an antixenosis resistance QTL on chromosome 7, and the resistant allele of the QTL was derived from G406. The chromosomal position of the QTL was almost the same as that of CCW-2, a previously-reported antibiosis resistance QTL for CCW, detected in a Fsub(2) population derived from a cross between Fukuyutaka and a resistant cultivar Himeshirazu. These QTLs could be the same locus; however, G406 and Himeshirazu are likely to possess different alleles, because Himeshirazu allele exhibits no antixenosis effect. We expect that pyramiding of the resistance QTLs derived from G. soja will contribute to the development of CCW resistant cultivars.
