Glossary
- Association mapping (AM):
-
Association mapping, also known as “linkage disequilibrium mapping,” allows to map QTLs by taking advantage of historic linkage disequilibrium to link measurable phenotypes to genotypes of unrelated individuals, hence uncovering genetic associations.
- Backcross:
-
Procedure used by plant breeders to introgress an allele at a locus of interest (e.g., disease resistance) from a donor parent to a recurrent parent, usually a successful cultivar. The recurrent parent is crossed several times to the original cross, and selection is performed at each cycle to recover the plants with the desired allele and the largest portion of the genome of the recurrent parent.
- Candidate gene:
-
A coding sequence that is supposed to be causally related to the trait under selection. The candidate gene approach is best applied with simple biochemical traits when a clear cause-effect relationship can be established between the gene function and the target trait.
