Simple statistical methods for the study of quantitative trait loci (QTL), such as analysis of
variance, have given way to methods that involve several markers and high-resolution …

Recent advances in plant genomics and molecular biology have revolutionized our
understanding of plant genetics, providing new opportunities for more efficient and …

Wild emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccoides, is the progenitor of modern tetraploid and
hexaploid cultivated wheats. Our objective was to map domestication-related quantitative …

Monte Carlo simulation is a useful technique for modeling and analyzing real-world systems
and situations. This paper is a conceptual paper that explores the applications of Monte …

This book is about the contribution to evolutionary theory and agricultural technology of one
of humankind's most dramatic imitations of the evolu tionary process, namely crop …

Fruit growth and development are physiological processes controlled by several internal
and external factors. This complex regulatory mechanism comprises a series of events …

Despite QTL mapping being a routine procedure in plant breeding, approaches that fully
exploit data from multi-trait multi-environment (MTME) trials are limited. Mixed models have …

When surface species colonize caves, a characteristic suite of traits eventually evolves over
time, regardless of species. The genetic basis of the inevitable appearance of these very …

Genetic differences between azuki bean (Vigna angularis var. angularis) and its presumed
wild ancestor (V. angularis var. nipponensis) were resolved into QTL for traits associated …

An approach to increase the efficiency of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) was proposed
earlier by the authors on the basis of bivariate analysis of correlated traits. The power of QTL …
