A very general method is described for multiple linear regression of a quantitative phenotype on genotype [putative quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and markers] in segregating generations obtained… (More)
Associations between markers and complex quantitative traits were investigated in a collection of 146 modern two-row spring barley cultivars, representing the current commercial germ plasm in Europe.… (More)
A new method, REcombination Counting and ORDering (RECORD) is presented for the ordering of loci on genetic linkage maps. The method minimizes the total number of recombination events. The search… (More)
By using 25 primer combinations, 563 AFLP markers segregating in a recombinant inbred population (103 lines, F9) derived from L94/Vada were generated. The 38 AFLP markers in common to the existing… (More)
 The partial resistance to leaf rust in barley is a quantitative resistance that is not based on hypersensitivity. To map the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for partial resistance to leaf rust, we… (More)
This study demonstrates the relative ease of generating high-density linkage maps using the AFLP® technology. Two high-density AFLP linkage maps of Zea mays L. were generated based on: (1) a B73 ×… (More)

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (homologs) undergo recombinational interactions, which can yield crossovers (COs) or noncrossovers. COs exhibit interference; they are more evenly spaced along… (More)
The interval mapping method is widely used for the genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), though true resolution of quantitative variation into QTLs is hampered with this method.… (More)
 Thirty one barley lines were used to investigate the agreement between three relationship measures: genetic similarities based on 681 AFLP-markers, coefficients of co-ancestry based on pedigree… (More)
Crop modelling has so far contributed little to the genetic analysis of a quantitative trait. This study illustrates how a simple model for crop phenological development, which assumes that crop… (More)
