Title
QTL Analysis in a Complex Autopolyploid: Genetic Control of Sugar Content in Sugarcane
Ray Ming; Sin-Chieh Liu; Paul H. Moore; et al. Genome Research 2001. doi:10.1101/gr.198801
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Thirty-six significant associations between sugar content and unlinked loci were found in two interspecific populations.
- Observation Most QTL allele effects were consistent with parental phenotypes.
- Observation Several QTLs on homologous chromosomes appeared to correspond.
- Association Multiple doses of favorable alleles yielded diminishing returns.
- Association Fewer sugar content QTLs were found in the highest-sugar genotype than in lower-sugar genotypes.
- Observation Comparison with maize suggested partially overlapping genetic variation for carbohydrate deposition in seed and biomass crops.
- Observation Many sugar-content QTLs did not correspond to known candidate genes.
