Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of linkage disequilibrium in plants.
TL;DR: The basic patterns of LD in plants will be better understood as more species are analyzed, and association mapping has been exploited to dissect quantitative trait loci (QTL).
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of linkage disequilibrium and phenotypic associations in the maize genome

TL;DR: Analysis of patterns of local and genome-wide LD in 102 maize inbred lines representing much of the worldwide genetic diversity used in maize breeding suggests that association studies show great promise for identifying the genetic basis of important traits in maize with very high resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dwarf8 polymorphisms associate with variation in flowering time.
Jeffry M. Thornsberry,Major M. Goodman,John Doebley,Stephen Kresovich,Dahlia M. Nielsen,Edward S. Buckler +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, statistical methods to account for population structure were extended for use with quantitative variation and applied to their evaluation of maize flowering time, which indicated that a suite of polymorphisms associated with differences in flowering time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic properties of the maize nested association mapping population.

TL;DR: Maize genetic diversity has been used to understand the molecular basis of phenotypic variation and to improve agricultural efficiency and sustainability and it is suggested that selection in inbred lines has been less efficient in these regions because of reduced recombination frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant molecular diversity and applications to genomics.
TL;DR: Nucleotide diversity is also being used to discover the function of genes through the mapping of quantitative trait loci in structured populations, the positional cloning of strong QTL, and association mapping.
