Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multi-parent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) populations are a newly established tool to dissect quantitative traits. We developed the high resolution MAGIC wheat population WM-800, consisting of 910 F4:6 lines derived from intercrossing eight recently released European winter wheat cultivars. RESULTS: Genotyping WM-800 with 7849 SNPs revealed a low mean genetic similarity of 59.7% between...
