Linkage mapping and quantitative trait loci analysis of sweetness and other fruit quality traits in papaya

摘要

BackgroundThe identification and characterisation of quantitative trait loci (QTL) is an important step towards identifying functional sequences underpinning important crop traits and for developing accurate markers for selective breeding strategies. In this study, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach detected QTL conditioning desirable fruit quality traits in papaya.
