Comparative Mapping and Candidate Gene Analysis of SSIIa Associated with Grain Amylopectin Content in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Amylopectin concentration in barley endosperm has important effects on grain quality and end-use. In this study, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis together with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed to identify markers linked to grain amylopectin content respectively using a do...
