Abstract A backcrossed population (BC4F2) derived from a cross between a japonica rice
variety, Nipponbare, as the recurrent parent and an indica rice variety, Kasalath, as the …

To characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs), we used marker-assisted selection (MAS) to
develop three nearly isogenic lines (NILs) differing only for the presence of a single, specific …

The map locations and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were estimated for eight flower
and fruit traits in sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) using a restriction fragment length …

Winter hardiness is a complex trait and one of the most important adaptations for alfalfa
(Medicago sativa L.) grown in northern climates. In the absence of winter hardiness data …

Although F 2 s are the most informative populations for genetic analysis, it has been difficult
to use F 2 populations directly for QTL analysis because it is usually difficult to assess the …

Classic Mendelian genetic analysis relies on a simple relationship between genotype and
phenotype. The phenotypic differences among individuals in a population are directly …
