Abstract excerpt
Recent results indicate that association mapping in populations from applied plant breeding is a powerful tool to detect QTL which are of direct relevance for breeding. The focus of this study was to unravel the genetic architecture of six agronomic traits in sugar beet. To this end, we employed an association mapping approach, based on a very large population of 924 elite sugar beet lines from applied plant...
