Abstract excerpt
Endosperm traits are of triploid inheritance and have become a focus of breeding effort for their close relations with the grain quality. Current methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying endosperm traits are restricted to the use of the phenotypes of single grain samples as input data set, which are often not available in practice due to the small size of the cereal seeds. This paper proposed...
