Alonso-Blanco Carlos, Méndez-Vigo Belén
Abstract excerpt
Deciphering the genetic and molecular bases of quantitative variation is a long-standing challenge in plant biology because it is essential for understanding evolution and for accelerating plant breeding. Recent multi-trait analyses at different phenotypic levels are uncovering the pleiotropy and the genetic regulation underlying high-level complex traits. Thus, the number of known causal loci, genes and...
