Prevalence of pigeonpea diseases and associated crop losses in Asia, Africa and the Americas.
TL;DR: Pigeonpea diseases in the major pigeonpea growing areas of Asia, Africa and the Americas between 1975 and 1980 revealed that wilt, sterility mosaic, Phytophthora blight, Macrophomina stem canker and yellow mosaic were economically important diseases.

Rex Bernardo,Alain Charcosset +1 more
TL;DR: Having known QTL in MARS is most beneficial for traits controlled by a moderately large number of QTL (e.g., 40), and it is speculated that a combination of approaches would be needed to exploit information on markers for QTL themselves, markers linked to QTL, and unknown QTL.
