Many quantitative traits of economical importance are ordinal in nature. Although methods of mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for continuous quantitative characters are well developed, such methods for ordinal characters are generally lacking. In this paper, we develop a method based on the fr

Water deficits and high temperature are major abiotic stresses affecting crop productivity. In order to unravel the genetic architecture of maize tolerance to these stresses, linkage analysis between the expression of the two tolerance traits and allelic composition of molecular markers was performe
In this chapter, we present statistical methods for mapping quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) in outbred or complex pedigrees. Such pedigrees exist primarily in livestock populations, also in human populations, and occasionally in experimental animal or plant populations. The main focus of this chapter
## Abstract Models for complex and quantitative traits that involve multiple, possibly interacting, genes are described. Methods of linkage analysis are developed that utilize special features of these models, and their power is compared with that of simple genome scans that ignore these special fe
