Abstract excerpt
We used whole genome scan association mapping to identify loci with major effect on oleic acid content in maize kernels. Single nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes at 8,590 loci were tested for association with oleic acid content in 553 maize inbreds. A single locus with major effect on oleic acid was mapped between 380 and 384 cM in the IBM2 neighbors genetic map on chromosome 4 and confirmed in a biparental...
