Epistasis plays a role in determining the phenotype, yet quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping
has uncovered little evidence for it. To address this apparent contradiction, we analyzed …

The effect of a gene involved in the variation of a quantitative trait may change due to
epistatic interactions with the overall genetic background or with other genes through …

Methodologies for mapping of genes underlying quantitative traits have advanced
considerably but have not been accompanied by a parallel development of new population …

Controlled population development and genome-wide association studies have proven
powerful in uncovering genes and alleles underlying complex traits. An underexplored …

The near-isogenic Line TA523, containing a 40-cM introgression at the bottom of
chromosome 1 from Lycopersicon hirsutum acc. LA1777, affects several agronomically …

Abstract Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) allelic variation was studied by analyzing near-
isogenic lines (NILs) carrying homologous introgressions on chromosome 4 from three …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been mapped to small intervals along the chromosomes of
tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), by a method we call substitution mapping. The size of …

As part of ongoing studies regarding the genetic basis of quantitative variation in phenotype,
we have determined the chromosomal locations of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting fruit …

Molecular markers were used to map and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for
several characters of agronomic and biological importance in an interspecific backcross of …

Linkage relationships between loci affecting quantitative traits (QTL) and marker loci were
examined in an interspecific cross between Lycopersicon esculentum and Lycopersicon …
