Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Crop Plants—Salient Statistical Tools and Considerations
TL;DR: This review focuses on application of statistical tools and techniques in analysis of genetic diversity at the intraspecific level in crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Design and Statistical Power of Nested Association Mapping in Maize
TL;DR: The genetic and statistical properties of the nested association mapping (NAM) design currently being implemented in maize is investigated to dissect the genetic basis of complex quantitative traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced backcross QTL analysis: a method for the simultaneous discovery and transfer of valuable QTLs from unadapted germplasm into elite breeding lines.
Steve Tanksley,James C. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: If successfully employed, advanced backcross QTL analysis can open the door to exploiting unadapted and exotic germplasm for the quantitative trait improvement of a number of crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of the anthesis-silking interval in breeding for drought tolerance in tropical maize
J. Bolaños,Gregory O. Edmeades +1 more
TL;DR: Results show that secondary traits are not lacking genetic variability within elite maize populations, and variation in grain yield under moisture stress is dominated by variation in ear-setting processes related to biomass partitioning at flowering, and much less by factors putatively linked to crop water status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular-Marker-Facilitated Investigations of Quantitative-Trait Loci in Maize. I. Numbers, Genomic Distribution and Types of Gene Action
TL;DR: Examination of the effects of marked regions on the expression of pairs of traits suggests that genomic regions vary in the direction and magnitudes of their effects on trait correlations, perhaps providing a means of selecting to dissociate some correlated traits.
