This resistance is inferred by a particular gene that can be followed using MAS ( Marker Assisted Selection ) and QTL ( Quantitative Trait Loci ).

Quantitative trait loci mapping or QTL mapping is the process of identifying genomic regions that potentially contain genes responsible for important economic, health or environmental characters.
23.
The finding may help in understanding the function of genes that control quantitative traits _ that is, ones that vary by degree, rather than all or nothing.
24.
Since then, global brain gene expression data, derived from microarrays, has been aligned to various behavioural quantitative trait loci ( QTLs ) and reported in several publications.
25.
Shoot regeneration efficiency in tissue culture is usually a quantitative trait that often varies between plant species and within a plant species among subspecies, varieties, cultivars, or ecotypes.
26.
Quantitative trait loci ( QTL ) composed of one or more genes, such as Fhb1 derived from the Chinese wheat cultivar Sumai 3, have been identified in wheat.
27.
Spence developed a number of quantitative traits that will advance the search for new genetic causes of atherosclerosis, and thus new therapeutic targets and new therapies for atherosclerosis.
28.
In statistical genetics, "'inclusive composite interval mapping "'( ICIM ) has been proposed as an approach to QTL ( quantitative trait locus ) mapping for populations derived from bi-parental crosses.
29.
However, while this simple correspondence between an allele and a trait works in some cases, most traits are more complex and are controlled by quantitative trait loci ( multiple interacting genes ).
30.
Quantitative trait genetics today leverages Wright's observations about the statistical relationship between genotype and phenotype in families and populations to understand how certain genetic features can affect variation in natural and derived populations.
