Metabolomics and Plant Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis – The Optimum Genetical Genomics Platform?

摘要: Biologists have long strived to understand what causes phenotypic differences between two individuals. This includes in morphology, disease susceptibility, physiology as well potential metabolic underlying these higher order phenotypes. The diversity individuals is partitioned into both environmental and genetic variation. Most variation studied date tends be qualitative such that there are one or more distinct non-overlapping states. However, most quantitative numerous overlapping states [1-4]. It has been known for nearly a century the approximate position of loci controlling traits can identified through associating marker phenotype structured population [5]. association foundation Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) mapping experiments attempt identify number, impact interaction trait.
