The objectives of WP3 are:
-
Extension of PBA based software for application to high density SNP- genotyping
-
Identification of QTL for new traits by classical QTL mapping
-
Reduction of confidence intervals and characterisation of known QTL & Identification of nearby markers
-
Assessment of genetic diversity as exploited within European breeding programmes
-
Mining QTL-alleles over wider breeding germplasm
-
Validation of QTL-alleles over climatic regions and harvest dates
