Mapping QTLs for traits measured as percentages
Genetical Research, 2004 Many quantitative traits are measured as percentages. As a result, the assumption of a normal distribution for the residual errors of such percentage data is often violated. However, most quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping procedures assume normality of the residuals.

Comprehensive DIA‐MS Proteomics of Root Basal Nodes Elucidates Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance in Rice
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil salinity severely affects rice growth, yield, and quality, posing a global food security challenge. Rice is particularly vulnerable to high salinity, which restricts growth and tolerance to other stresses. To address this, breeding efforts have been made in the past, leading to the generation of multi‐stress‐tolerant rice lines.

vqtl: An R Package for Mean-Variance QTL Mapping
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 We present vqtl, an R package for mean-variance QTL mapping. This QTL mapping approach tests for genetic loci that influence the mean of the phenotype, termed mean QTL, the variance of the phenotype, termed variance QTL, or some combination of the two ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Combining two Meishan F2 crosses improves the detection of QTL on pig chromosomes 2, 4 and 6
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2010 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

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Model selection for quantitative trait loci mapping in a full-sib family
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 Statistical methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in full-sib forest trees, in which the number of alleles and linkage phase can vary from locus to locus, are still not well established.

BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background High temperature is one of the major abiotic stresses in tomato and greatly reduces fruit yield and quality. Identifying high-temperature stress-responsive (HSR) genes and breeding heat-tolerant varieties is an effective way to address this ...
