Abstract excerpt
Many quantitative traits are controlled by multiple genetic variations with minor effects, making it challenging to resolve the underlying genetic network and to apply functional markers in breeding. Affected by up to a hundred quantitative trait loci (QTLs), fruit-soluble sugar content is one of the most complex quantitative traits in apple (Malus sp.). Here, QTLs for apple fruit sucrose and fructose content...
