Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been used to dissect the genetic architecture of complex traits and predict phenotypes for marker-assisted selection. Many QTL mapping studies in plants have ...
Quantitative traits are usually controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and environmental factors. Because of the physical linkage of multiple QTLs, gene–gene interactions (epistasis) ...
