Genetic expectations of quantitative trait loci main and interaction effects obtained with the triple testcross design and their relevance for the analysis of heterosis.

Abstract excerpt

Interpretation of experimental results from quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies on the predominant type of gene action can be severely affected by the choice of statistical model, experimental design, and provision of epistasis. In this study, we derive quantitative genetic expectations of (i) QTL effects obtained from one-dimensional genome scans with the triple testcross (TTC) design and (ii) pairwise...
