Multiparental advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) populations provide abundant genetic variation for use in plant genetics and breeding. In this study, we developed a method for quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection in pure-line populations derived from 8-way crosses, based on the principles of inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM). We considered 8 parents carrying different alleles with different effects. To estimate the 8 genotypic effects, 1-locus genetic model was first built. Then, an orthogonal linear model of phenotypes against marker variables was established to explain genetic effects of the locus. The linear model was estimated by stepwise regression and finally used for phenotype adjustment and background genetic variation control in QTL mapping. Simulation studies using 3 genetic models demonstrated that the proposed method had higher detection power, lower false discovery rate (FDR), and unbiased estimation of QTL locations compared with other methods. Marginal bias was observed in the estimation of QTL effects. An 8-parental recombinant inbred line (RIL) population previously reported in cowpea and analyzed by interval mapping (IM) was reanalyzed by ICIM and genome-wide association mapping implemented in software FarmCPU. The results indicated that ICIM identified more QTLs explaining more phenotypic variation than did IM; ICIM provided more information on the detected QTL than did FarmCPU; and most QTLs identified by IM and FarmCPU were also detected by ICIM.
