The advancement of plant breeding has seen significant contributions from the field of genetics, particularly through the identification and utilization of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) and association mapping. These techniques have revolutionized our understanding of complex traits and enabled the development of crops with enhanced productivity, resilience, and nutritional value. This article delves into the principles, methodologies, and applications of QTL and association mapping in plant breeding. Understanding Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) QTL are regions of the genome that are associated with variation in a quantitative trait. Quantitative traits, such as yield, height, and drought tolerance, are typically…
