Abstract excerpt
Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) is the route to more detailed molecular characterization and functional studies of the relationship between polymorphism and trait variation. It is also of direct relevance to breeding since it makes QTL more easily integrated into marker-assisted breeding and into genomic selection. Fine mapping requires that marker-trait associations are tested in populations in...
