Mapping causal genes and genetic interactions for agronomic traits using a large F<sub>2</sub> population in rice

AbstractDissecting the genetic mechanisms underlying agronomic traits is of great importance for crop breeding. Agronomic traits are usually controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genetic interactions, and mapping the underlying causal genes is still labor-intensive and time-consu...

Description
Summary:AbstractDissecting the genetic mechanisms underlying agronomic traits is of great importance for crop breeding. Agronomic traits are usually controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genetic interactions, and mapping the underlying causal genes is still labor-intensive and time-consuming. Here, we present a genetic tool for directly targeting the specific causal genes by using a single-gene resolution linkage map that was constructed from 3756 F2qHD6-2qGL3-1qGW5-2Hd1GS3GW5qHD6-2
