From QTL discovery to reliable marker-assisted selection
A practical guide for plant breeders, researchers and seed-industry
professionals who want to evaluate QTL effects, validate molecular markers
and make confident marker-assisted selection decisions.
ABOUT THE HANDBOOK
A practical framework for reliable QTL validation
The QTL Validation Handbook provides a practical framework for moving
from published QTL results to reliable breeding applications. It explains
how to evaluate whether a QTL has meaningful breeding value, whether its
effect is stable across relevant environments and populations, and whether
the linked marker accurately identifies the favourable allele.
The guide also covers marker–QTL linkage, recombination risk, linkage
phase, marker informativeness and technical assay performance. These
factors help breeders determine whether a candidate marker is dependable
enough for routine marker-assisted selection.
Designed for plant breeders, researchers, postgraduate students and
seed-company professionals, the handbook offers a clear decision-making
process for assessing QTLs and molecular markers before they are deployed
in a breeding program.
