Abstract

This project will test the feasibility of a novel and potentially powerful approach to identify the source and underlying nature of allelic variation in QTL. It will use a resource collection of Arabidopsis thaliana lines, specifically designed for fine gene mapping across the whole genome, in combination with QTL, allele sequence and gene expression analysis. A small but representative sample of QTL will be used for a few model traits, such as flowering time, height, leaf and silique number, as proof of principle.
