Abstract excerpt
Statistical methods for genetic mapping have well been developed for diploid species but are lagging in the more complex polyploids. The genetic mapping of polyploids, where genome number is higher than two, is complicated by uncertainty about the genotype-phenotype correspondence, inconsistent meiotic mechanisms, heterozygous genome structures, and increased allelic (action) and nonallelic (interaction)...
