QTL mapping using a 8-parental MAGIC population of Solanum spp.
The ninth generation of a MAGIC population derived from eight parental lines (seven elite and public lines of Solanum lycopersicum and one Solanum cheesmaniae*) was used for QTL mapping of multiple qualitative and quantitative traits. The eight parental lines were whole-genome sequenced to identify highly informative polymorphic loci for line discrimination and to design primers for SPET sequencing of the offspring.*
