Abstract excerpt
In plants and laboratory animals, QTL mapping is commonly performed using F(2) or BC individuals derived from the cross of two inbred lines. Typical QTL mapping statistics assume that each F(2) individual is genotyped for the markers and phenotyped for the trait. For plant traits with low heritability, it has been suggested to use the average phenotypic values of F(3) progeny derived from selfing F(2) plants in...
