Gwas and Qtl Mapping in Horticultural Crops: Vegetable Crops
暫譯: 園藝作物的GWAS與QTL定位：蔬菜作物

這本編輯的專著提供了對全基因組關聯研究（GWAS）和定量性狀位點（QTL）繪圖的全面概述，涵蓋了各種蔬菜作物及其全球意義。內容包括GWAS和QTL繪圖的基本原則，所使用的統計工具和方法論，以及對遺傳資源、結構分析（STRUCTURE analysis）和雙親及多親映射群體發展的見解。本書還探討了已識別的QTL、開發的分子標記和與經濟重要性狀相關的候選基因。

蔬菜作物在確保日益增長的全球人口的食品和營養安全方面扮演著至關重要的角色。這些作物在全球約有1086萬公頃的種植面積，每年生產1.148億噸，不僅作為主食來源，還作為重要的經濟作物和各種食品工業的原材料。本書討論了在主要蔬菜作物群體中進行的GWAS和QTL繪圖工作，包括茄科、葫蘆科、十字花科、根莖作物、葉菜類蔬菜等。

本書適合育種專家、遺傳學家、病理學家、統計學家、生物技術專家、種子行業專業人士、市場經理以及研究生和碩士生。它也將惠及參與蔬菜作物改良的公私部門利益相關者。本書提供了發展育種策略和改善蔬菜作物經濟重要性狀的實用指導。
