Abstract excerpt
In a previous study on a maize (Zea mays L.) population of recombinant inbreds derived from B73 × H99, we identified several quantitative trait loci (QTL) for agronomic traits with high dominance-additive ratio. Then, for four of these QTL, we developed families of near-isogenic lines (NILs) homozygous either for the QTL allele from B73 (BB) or from H99 (HH); for two of these QTL, the NILs' families were produced...
