The method accurately estimated parameters for a plant-height locus in 1596 F-2 Lycopersicon progeny.
Verbatim
e0“With this method, the genetic parameters of a locus affecting plant height linked to an electrophoretic marker for esterase were accurately estimated from a sample of 1596 F-2 progeny of a cross between two species of Lycopersicon (tomato).”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The plant-height locus and marker were 38 map units apart.
- Observation The quantitative trait locus effect was 1.6 phenotypic standard deviation units.
- Method / resource The method yielded accurate parameter and linkage estimates in simulated populations of 2000 individuals.
- Method / resource The method could not effectively distinguish complete from partial linkage with 500 individuals or loci with effects below one phenotypic standard deviation.
- Method / resource The method was more effective for codominant than dominant loci.
