Demonstration of genome-wide association studies for identifying markers for wood property and male strobili traits in Cryptomeria japonica.

Demonstration of genome-wide association studies for identifying markers for wood property and male strobili traits in Cryptomeria japonica.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are an alternative to bi-parental QTL mapping in long-lived perennials. In the present study, we examined the potential of GWAS in conifers using 367 unrelated plus trees of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don, which is the most widely planted and commercially importan...
