Identifying and Characterizing Candidate Genes Contributing to a Grain Yield QTL in Wheat

Plants, 2023
The current study focuses on identifying the candidate genes of a grain yield QTL from a double haploid population, Westonia × Kauz. The QTL region spans 20 Mbp on the IWGSC whole-genome sequence flank with 90K SNP markers.

QTLminer: identifying genes regulating quantitative traits

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping identifies genomic regions that likely contain genes regulating a quantitative trait. However, QTL regions may encompass tens to hundreds of genes. To find the most promising candidate genes that regulate

Barcoded bulk QTL mapping reveals highly polygenic and epistatic architecture of complex traits in yeast

eLife, 2022
Mapping the genetic basis of complex traits is critical to uncovering the biological mechanisms that underlie disease and other phenotypes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in humans and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in model organisms can

Main Effect QTL with Dominance Determines Heterosis for Dynamic Plant Height in Upland Cotton

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Plant height, which shows dynamic development and heterosis, is a major trait affecting plant architecture and has an indirect influence on economic yield related to biological yield in cotton.

A triad of highly divergent polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) haplotypes with major effect on IgA concentration in bovine milk. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The aim of this study was to determine a genetic basis for IgA concentration in milk of Bos taurus. We used a Holstein-Friesian x Jersey F2 crossbred pedigree to undertake a genome-wide search for QTL influencing IgA concentration and yield in colostrum ...

Genetic Mapping and Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis for Disease Resistance Using F2 and F5 Generation-based Genetic Maps Derived from ‘Tifrunner’ × ‘GT-C20’ in Peanut

The Plant Genome, 2013
One mapping population derived from Tifrunner × GT-C20 has shown great potential in developing a high density genetic map and identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) for important disease resistance, tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and leaf spot (LS).

The Genetic Structures and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Ear Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Cells, 2023
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

Identification of quantitative trait nucleotides and candidate genes for soybean seed weight by multiple models of genome-wide association study

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Seed weight is a complex yield-related trait with a lot of quantitative trait loci (QTL) reported through linkage mapping studies. Integration of QTL from linkage mapping into breeding program is challenging due to numerous limitations ...
