Compared to the conventional linkage mapping, linkage disequilibrium (LD)‐mapping,
using the nonrandom associations of loci in haplotypes, is a powerful high‐resolution …

Many genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in humans are concluding that, even with
very large sample sizes and high marker densities, most of the genetic basis of complex …

Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on linkage disequilibrium
(LD) provide a promising tool for the detection and fine mapping of quantitative trait loci …

Association-based trait mapping is an innovative methodology based on linkage
disequilibrium. Studies in plants, especially in cereals, are rare. A genome-wide association …

Domesticated materials with well-known wild relatives provide an experimental system to
reveal how human selection during cultivation affects genetic composition and adaptation to …

A microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) consensus map of barley was constructed
by joining six independent genetic maps based on the mapping populations 'Igri× …

The narrow genetic base of cultivated cotton germplasm is hindering the cotton productivity
worldwide. Although potential genetic diversity exists in Gossypium genus, it is largely …

Cultivated common bean germplasm is especially diverse due to the parallel domestication
of two genepools in the Mesoamerican and Andean centers of diversity and introgression …

Two hundred and fifty bread wheat lines, mainly Chinese mini core accessions, were
assayed for polymorphism and linkage disequilibrium (LD) based on 512 whole-genome …

A spring barley collection of 192 genotypes from a wide geographical range was used to
identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for salt tolerance traits by means of an association …
