Abstract excerpt
Libraries of near-isogenic lines (NILs) are a powerful plant genetic resource to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). Nevertheless, QTL mapping with NILs is mostly restricted to genetic main effects. Here we propose a two-step procedure to map additive-by-additive digenic epistasis with NILs. In the first step, a generation means analysis of parents, their F(1) hybrid, and one-segment NILs and their triple...
