Identification and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci for Grain Number in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Grains number is one of the most important agronomic traits in the determination of rice productivity. To explore the underlying genetic basis of grain number in rice, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was performed using three recombinant inbred ...

Physiological and physical traits are excellent indicators of many crop characteristics, but precise phenotyping of these traits is time consuming and, therefore, limits progress in crop breeding and the speed of crop monitoring.

QTL Mapping to QTL Cloning: Mice to the Rescue [PDF]
With the availability of dense, highly informative marker maps, it has recently become feasible to map genes (Quantitative Trait Loci or QTL) accounting for part of the heritability of continuously distributed traits in experimental crosses as well as outbred populations. QTL mapping efforts have almost invariably revealed a limited number of loci with

Combining two Meishan F2 crosses improves the detection of QTL on pig chromosomes 2, 4 and 6 [PDF]
Background In pig, a number of experiments have been set up to identify QTL and a multitude of chromosomal regions harbouring genes influencing traits of interest have been identified. However, the mapping resolution remains limited in most cases and the

R/qtl: QTL mapping in experimental crosses
Abstract Summary: R/qtl is an extensible, interactive environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in experimental populations derived from inbred lines. It is implemented as an add-on package for the freely-available statistical software, R, and includes functions for estimating genetic maps, identifying genotyping errors, and

Comparison of analyses of the QTLMAS XIV common dataset. II: QTL analysis [PDF]
Background - A quantitative and a binary trait for the 14th QTLMAS 2010 workshop were simulated under a model which combined additive inheritance, epistasis and imprinting. This paper aimed to compare results submitted by the participants of the workshop.

In silico Analysis of qBFR4 and qLBL5 in Conferring Quantitative Resistance Against Rice Blast
The devastating yield losses caused by rice blast can be mitigated by breeding resistant cultivars with QTLs enriched with resistance (R-gene) and defence related genes. These genes are the arsenal of the plant’s immune system against pathogen invasion.

Number and mode of inheritance of QTL influencing backfat thickness on SSC2p in Sino-European pig pedigrees [PDF]
Background In the pig, multiple QTL associated with growth and fatness traits have been mapped to chromosome 2 (SSC2) and among these, at least one shows paternal expression due to the IGF2-intron3-G3072A substitution. Previously published results on the
