Construction of a high-density genetic map using specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing and quantitative trait loci analysis for tillering related traits in Psathyrostachys juncea perennial grass.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Russian wildrye (RWR, Psathyrostachys juncea) is an outcrossing perennial grass that plays a crucial role in foragaing and rangeland restoration due to its tiller producing capabilities, nevertheless, a genetic map has yet to be constructed due to a shortage of efficient and reliable molecular markers. This also limits the identification, localization, and cloning of economically important traits...
