Understanding the genetic complexity of traits is an important objective of small grain
temperate cereals yield and adaptation improvements. Bi-parental quantitative trait loci …

Future advances in plant genomics will make it possible to scan a genome for
polymorphisms associated with qualitative and quantitative traits. Before this potential can …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

Although pioneered by human geneticists as a potential solution to the challenging problem
of finding the genetic basis of common human diseases,, genome-wide association (GWA) …

Association map**, a high-resolution method for map** quantitative trait loci based on
linkage disequilibrium, holds great promise for the dissection of complex genetic traits. The …

Association map** is a method for detection of gene effects based on linkage
disequilibrium (LD) that complements QTL analysis in the development of tools for molecular …

Different approaches (including association studies) have recently been adopted for the
functional characterization of allelic variation in plants and to identify sequence motifs …

Particular alleles at neighbouring loci tend to be co-inherited. For tightly linked loci, this
might lead to associations between alleles in the population—a property known as linkage …

Despite advances in sequencing, the goal of obtaining a comprehensive view of genetic
variation in populations is still far from reached. We sequenced 180 lines of A. thaliana from …

During the last two decades, DNA-based molecular markers have been extensively utilized
for a variety of studies in both plant and animal systems. One of the major uses of these …
