Abstract excerpt
Epistasis is defined as interactions between alleles of two or more genetic loci. Detection of epistatic interactions is the key to understand the genetic architecture and gene networks underlying complex traits. Here, we examined the extent of epistasis for seven quantitative traits with an association mapping approach in a large population of elite sugar beet lines. We found that correction for population...
