Genetic Mapping Of Quantitative Trait Loci For Wood Basic Density In Pinus Radiata Using Rapd Markers
Quantitative trait mapping in Pinus radiata was carried out in a controlled-cross half-sib family forming part of an operational tree-breeding program. This family structure required the identification of RAPD markers fitting the pseudo-testcross configuration between the common parent and other contributing parents. The half-sib family structure was successfully used to identify three loci influencing a high heritability trait: wood basic density. Keywords: Genetic mapping, QTL mapping, RAPD, half-sib, wood basic density, tree breeding, Pious radiata.
