, 2006 The study of the intraspecific natural variation existing in Arabidopsis provides a useful resource for the dissection of its genome at the functional, ecological, and evolutionary levels. A major step in these studies is the identification and location of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining the variation for trait(s) of interest, so-called QTL ...

Multi-environment QTL mixed models for drought stress adaptation in wheat [PDF]
, 2008 Many quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection methods ignore QTL-by-environment interaction (QEI) and are limited in accommodation of error and environment-specific variance.

Genetic and Physiological Characterization of a Calcium Deficiency Phenotype in Maize
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Calcium (Ca) is an essential plant nutrient, required for signaling, cell wall fortification and growth and development. Calcium deficiency (Ca-deficiency) in maize causes leaf tip rot and a so-called “bull-whipping” or “buggy-whipping” phenotype ...

Quantitative Genes Controlling Chlorophyll Fluorescence Attributes in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Resources, 2021 Chlorophyll fluorescence is one of the very useful techniques in plant physiology because of the ease with which the user can gain detailed information on the state of photosystem II (PSII) at a relatively low cost.

Pyramiding of Ryd2 and Ryd3 conferring tolerance to a German isolate of Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV-ASL-1) leads to quantitative resistance against this isolate [PDF]
, 2011 Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is an economically important pathogen of barley, which may become even more important due to global warming. In barley, several loci conferring tolerance to BYDV-PAV-ASL-1 are known, e.g.

PLoS Genetics, 2010 Natural selection sculpts phenotypes to enable adaptation to local conditions. Biologists have long been interested in the phenotypic and molecular response to selection, but we still know little about the genetic basis of adaptation. With continuing improvements in molecular technologies, we now have the tools to investigate the genes that underlie ...

Development of sodicity tolerant rice varieties through marker assisted backcross breeding
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2017 The ‘Saltol’ QTL, responsible for salt tolerance at seedling stage of rice was successfully introgressed into ADT 43, a salt sensitive but a popular commercial rice variety of favorable irrigated rice ecosystem of Tamil Nadu, through Marker Assisted ...

Validation of QTLs for Fiber Quality Introgressed from Gossypium mustelinum by Selective Genotyping
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Gene introgression from wild species has been shown to be a feasible approach for fiber quality improvement in Upland cotton. Previously, we developed an interspecific G. mustelinum × G.
