Abstract:
Quantitative trait loci mapping has become a common practice in crop plants and can be accomplished using either biparental populations following interval mapping or natural populations following the approach of association mapping. Because of its ability to use the natural diversity and to search for functional variants in a broader germplasm, association mapping is becoming popular among researchers. An overview of the different steps involved in association mapping in plants is provided in this chapter.
