Abstract excerpt
Carrot is a major source of provitamin A in a human diet. Two of the most important traits for carrot breeding are carotenoid contents and root color. To examine genomic regions related to these traits and develop DNA markers for carrot breeding, we performed an association analysis based on a general liner model using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in two F2 populations, both derived from...
