TL;DR: QTL IciMapping is freely available public software capable of building high-density linkage maps and mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in biparental populations and to perform analysis of variance for multi-environmental trials.

TL;DR: A modified algorithm called inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) is proposed in this article, which retains all advantages of CIM over IM and avoids the possible increase of sampling variance and the complicated background marker selection process in CIM.

TL;DR: An inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) is proposed by simultaneously considering marker variables and marker-pair multiplications in a linear model and can be identified by Epistatic QTL, no matter whether the two interacting QTL have any additive effects.

TL;DR: The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) acts as a catalyst and leader in a global maize and wheat innovation network that serves the poor in the developing world, with a focus on higher grain yields and value-added germplasm.

TL;DR: The genetic basis of grain length was dissected into six main-effect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and twelve pairs of epistatic QTLs and a major QTL, qGL-3a, was found to express stably not only in the isogenic background of Asominori but also in the recombinant background of asominori and IR24 under multiple environments.
