Associations of allozyme-heterozygosity with growth and its physiological underpinnings
have been well documented for bivalve molluscs. The associations are correlational …

Strategies for mapping quantitative trait (QT) loci (QTL) need special studies in species
where inbred lines cannot easily be obtained. We propose the detection of QTL with …

The timing of the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase is a major determinant of
the morphology and value of Brassica oleracea crops. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

The advent of molecular markers (particularly RFLP-and PCR-derived) for use as probes for
genomic DNA has revolutionized the genetic analysis of crop plants and provided not only …

Les lignées recombinantes fixées (RI;«recombinant inbred») offrent plusieurs avantages en
vue de la détection de loci quantitatifs (QTL) dont: une précision accrue dans la mesure des …

A genetic linkage map of Theobroma cacao (cocoa) has been constructed from 131
backcross trees derived from a cross between a single tree of the variety Catongo and an F1 …

A backcross population, derived from the cross (S. tuberosum x S. spegazzinii) x S.
tuberosum was used to map QTLs involved in nematode resistance, tuber yield and root …

The genetic causes of heterosis in tree growth were investigated by a comparative genetic
analysis of intra-and inter-specific crosses derived from Populus tremuloides and P. tremula …

The estimation of the contribution of an individual quantitative trait locus (QTL) to the
variance of a quantitative trait is considered in the framework of an analysis of variance …
