QTL Mapping

The book delves into the identification and mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that influence important agricultural traits like yield and disease resistance in crops. It highlights the role of molecular marker analysis in linking genetic loci to phenotypic variation, particularly in wheat breeding. The focus is on QTLs related to grain protein content in durum wheat, providing insights into the principles and methodologies of QTL mapping and its practical applications for enhancing crop quality and selection efficiency.
