The use of flanking marker methods has proved to be a powerful tool for the mapping of
quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the segregating generations derived from crosses between …

High density molecular linkage maps, comprised of more than 1000 markers with an
average spacing between markers of approximately 1.2 cM (ca. 900 kb), have been …

The use of molecular markers to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting agriculturally
important traits has become a key approach in plant genetics-both for understanding the …

We extend methods of quantitative genetics to studies of the evolution of reaction norms
defined over continuous environments. Our models consider both spatial variation (hard and …

The development of linkage maps with large numbers of molecular markers has stimulated
the search for methods to map genes involved in quantitative traits (QTLs). A promising …

DNA analyses have been used only occasionally to investigate genetic polymorphisms in
forest tree populations. Nonetheless, these analyses have already contributed to significant …

A well saturated genomic map is a necessity for a breeding program based on marker
assisted selection. To this end, we are developing genomic maps for cowpea (Vigna …

The contribution of introgressed regions derived from wild species to the genetic variation
within the species of Lycopersicon esculentum was investigated by comparing the RFLP …

The objective of this project was to introgress small overlapping chromosome segments
which cover the genome of L. pennellii into Lycopersicon esculentum lines. The interspecific …

Maximum likelihood methods for the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been
investigated in an F2 population using simulated data. The use of adjacent (flanking) marker …
