Identifying QTLs Related to Grain Filling Using a Doubled Haploid Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Population
Grain filling is an important trait of rice that affects the yield of grain-oriented crop species with sink capacity-related traits. Here, we used a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross between 93-11 (P1, indica) and Milyang352 (P2 ...

A New Advanced Backcross Tomato Population Enables High Resolution Leaf QTL Mapping and Gene Identification. [PDF]
Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping is a powerful technique for dissecting the genetic basis of traits and species differences. Established tomato mapping populations between domesticated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and its more distant interfertile ...

Expression Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) can provide a link between disease susceptibility variants discovered by genetic association studies and biology. To date, eQTL mapping studies have been primarily conducted in healthy individuals from population-based cohorts.

Parameter Estimation and Quantitative Parametric Linkage Analysis with GENEHUNTER-QMOD [PDF]
Objective: We present a parametric method for linkage analysis of quantitative phenotypes. The method provides a test for linkage as well as an estimate of different phenotype parameters.

The X Chromosome in Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping [PDF]
AbstractThe X chromosome requires special treatment in the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, most QTL mapping methods, and most computer programs for QTL mapping, have focused exclusively on autosomal loci. We describe a method for appropriate treatment of the X chromosome for QTL mapping in experimental crosses.

Genomic prediction from observed and imputed high-density ovine genotypes
Background Genomic prediction using high-density (HD) marker genotypes is expected to lead to higher prediction accuracy, particularly for more heterogeneous multi-breed and crossbred populations such as those in sheep and beef cattle, due to providing ...

The Genetic Structures and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Ear Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s staple food crops. In order to feed the growing world population, improving maize yield is a top priority for breeding programs. Ear traits are important determinants of maize yield, and are mostly quantitatively

QTL linkage analysis of connected populations using ancestral marker and pedigree information [PDF]
The common assumption in quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage mapping studies that parents of multiple connected populations are unrelated is unrealistic for many plant breeding programs.
