Genome-wide association study of Gossypium arboreum resistance to reniform nematode.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Currently, a commonly used strategy for mapping complex quantitative traits is to use a genome-wide linkage analysis to narrow suspected genes to regions on a scale of centiMorgans (cM), followed by an association analysis to fine map the genetic variation in regions showing linkage. Two important questions ...
