Bulked segregant analysis for relative water content to detect quantitative trait loci in wheat under drought stress

M. R. Naroui Rad, M. Kadir, A., Rafii, M. Y., Jaafar, H. Z. E., and Naghavi, M. R., Bulked segregant analysis for relative water content to detect quantitative trait loci in wheat under drought stress, vol. 11, pp. 3882-3888, 2012.

This study was carried out to evaluate the genetic effect of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring drought tolerance in wheat. A population of 120 F2 individuals from the cross between the drought-tolerant S-78-11 and drought-sensitive Tajan cultivars were analyzed for their segregation under drought stress conditions. The relative water content under drought stress conditions exhibited continuous variation, indicating the minor gene effects on the trait. Single-marker analysis (SMA) was carried out to detect the main QTL association with drought tolerance.
