Genetic Analyses of Wheat and Molecular Marker-Assisted Breeding, Volume 1

Abstract

It is very important of understanding how to construct the genetic population and genetic maps, what methods should be used, etc., to researchers; so in this chapter, the types and quality of genetic population, construction methods of genetic population, types of genetic markers, and statistical methods of QTL mapping were introduced; moreover some new methods and key notes from our study experience were especially provided.
