Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in crop plants has now become routine due to the
progress made in this area during the last two decades. Although, initial QTL studies mainly …

Increasing grain yield is the ultimate goal for maize breeding. High resolution quantitative
trait loci (QTL) mapping can help us understand the molecular basis of phenotypic variation …

We mapped and characterized quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting testcross performance of
important forage maize (Zea mays L.) traits and investigated their consistency across …

Point mutations are important tools for understanding gene functions and genetic
interactions, as well as for identifying neomorphs. The Maize Targeting Induced Local …

Bioinformatic analyses of maize EST sequences have highlighted large numbers of
candidate genes putatively involved in agriculturally important traits. To contribute to …

The power of QTL mapping by a mixed-model approach has been studied for hybrid crops
but remains unknown in self-pollinated crops. Our objective was to evaluate the usefulness …

Rodent inbred line crosses are widely used to map genetic loci associated with complex
traits. This approach has proven to be powerful for detecting quantitative trait loci (QTL); …

We applied an advanced backcross breeding strategy to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
of agronomic importance in a cross between two elite inbreds of maize, RD6502 (Mo17-type …

Key message A total of 132 domestication-related QTLs, of which 41 were novel, were
identified through genotyping-by-sequencing of two Glycine max× Glycine soja populations …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapped in different genetic populations are of great
significance for marker-assisted breeding. In this study, an F2: 3 population were developed …
