Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity is an important resource in crop breeding to improve cultivars with desirable traits. Selective breeding can lead to a reduction of genetic diversity. However, our understanding on this subject remains limited in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) can provide a reduced version of the genome as a cost-effective method to identify genetic variants across the genome. We...
