The development of molecular genetics and associated technology has facilitated a
quantum leap in our understanding of the underlying genetics of the traits sought through …

In eukaryotes, unlike in bacteria, gene order has typically been assumed to be random.
However, the first statistically rigorous analyses of complete genomes, together with the …

This article presents a method to combine QTL results from different independent analyses.
This method provides a modified Akaike criterion that can be used to decide how many QTL …

Recent technical advancements and refinement of analytical methods have enabled the loci
(quantitative trait loci, QTLs) responsible for the genetic control of quantitative traits to be …

A population of 96 doubled haploid lines (DHLs) was prepared from F 1 plants of the
hexaploid wheat cross Chinese Spring× SQ1 (a high abscisic acid-expressing breeding …

Comparative analysis of a number of studies in drought‐stressed maize (Zea mays L.)
reporting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for abscisic acid concentration, root characteristics …

Grain yield is a major goal for the improvement of durum wheat, particularly in drought-prone
areas. In this study, the genetic basis of grain yield (GY), heading date (HD), and plant …

The genetic basis of character association related to differentiation found in the primary
gene pool of rice was investigated based on the genomic distribution of quantitative trait loci …

Background Integration of multiple results from Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) studies is a key
point to understand the genetic determinism of complex traits. Up to now many efforts have …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection experiments have often been restricted to large biallelic
populations. Use of connected multiparental crosses has been proposed to increase the …
