Statistical methods for QTL mapping in cereals.
This paper gives an overview of the statistical theory suitable for mapping quantitative trait loci in experimental populations derived from inbred parents, with a particular emphasis on methodology for cereal crops. The basic theory is described, and some new areas of statistical research appropriate for mapping in cereal crops are discussed.
