Abstract excerpt
Modern plant breeding, such as genomic selection and gene editing, is based on the knowledge of the genetic architecture of desired traits. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis, which combines high throughput phenotyping and genotyping of segregating populations, is a powerful tool to identify these genetic determinants and to decipher the underlying mechanisms. However, meiotic recombination, which shuffles...
