Abstract excerpt
Many efforts have been made to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) to facilitate practical marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plants. In the present study, using MapQTL and BSA-seq (bulk segregant analysis using next generation sequencing) with two independent pedigree-based populations, we identified four major genome-wide QTLs responsible for apple fruit acidity. Candidate genes were screened in major QTL...
