Candidate Gene Approach to Identify Genes Underlying Quantitative Traits and Develop Diagnostic Markers in Potato
2007-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) and humans (Homo sapiens L.) are both outcrossing species. The phenotypic variation of both is controlled by environmental factors and by natural DNA polymorphisms between individuals. Therefore we adopt similar approaches as used in human population genetics, such as association mapping, to identify loci and their alleles that are causal for complex agronomic characters such as qua...
