The Search For Modifiers Of The Maze Gametophyte Factor Ga1-S And Quantitative Trait Polymorphisms Emerging From Doubled-Haploid Maize Lines, Vivek Shrestha
The Search For Modifiers Of The Maze Gametophyte Factor Ga1-S And Quantitative Trait Polymorphisms Emerging From Doubled-Haploid Maize Lines, Vivek Shrestha
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The project was designed to conduct two independent projects. The first project was to identify the genomic localization of the modifiers of the maize gametophyte factor (Ga1-s) and the second project was to establish and identify heritable polymorphic lines that have descended from a single doubled-haploid B73 plant. The objectives were (1) to search for modifier genes and loci on the maize chromosomes for the trait and determine genetic effects of them using QTL mapping; (2) to demonstrate the heritable polymorphism of the quantitative traits emerged from the descendants of a single doubled-haploid maize plant. Regarding the QTL …
