Seed vigor is a key factor that determines the quality of seeds, which is of great significance for agricultural production, with the potential to promote growth and productivity. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and genetic basis for seed vigor remain unknown. High-density genetic linkage mapping is an effective method for genomic study and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. In this study, a high-density genetic map was constructed from a 148 BC₄F₃ population cross between ‘M03’ and ‘M08’ strains based on specific-locus amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing. The constructed high-density genetic linkage map (HDGM) included 3876 SNP markers on ten chromosomes covering 2413.25 cM in length, with a mean distance between markers of 0.62 cM. QTL analysis was performed on four sweet corn germination traits that are related to seed vigor under artificial aging conditions. A total of 18 QTLs were identified in two seasons. Interestingly, a stable QTL was detected in two seasons on chromosome 10—termed qGR10—within an interval of 1.37 Mb. Within this interval, combined with gene annotation, we found four candidate genes (GRMZM2G074309, GRMZM2G117319, GRMZM2G465812, and GRMZM2G343519) which may be related to seed vigor after artificial aging.
