F1 populations are widely used in genetic mapping studies in agriculture, where known pedigrees enable rigorous quality control measures such as segregation distortion testing. However, conventional tests for segregation distortion are inadequate for polyploids, as they fail to account for double reduction, preferential pairing, and genotype uncertainty, leading to inflated type I error rates.
