Quantitative trait locus analysis as a gene discovery tool.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2003

McMullen Michael D

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative trait locus analysis has been a mainstay approach for obtaining a genetic description of complex agronomic traits for plants. What is sometimes overlooked is the role quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis can play in identifying genes that underlay complex traits. In this chapter, I will describe the basic steps required to conduct QTL analysis in crop plants. This process involves choices by the...
