Quantitative traits in plants: beyond the QTL.
Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jun 2003
Paran Ilan, Zamir Dani
Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic variation for quantitative traits results from segregation at multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL), the effects of which are modified by the internal and external environments. Because of their favorable genetic attributes (e.g. short generation time, large families and tolerance to inbreeding), plants are often used to test new concepts in quantitative trait analysis. Thus far, the molecular basis...
