Most traits in nature and of importance to agriculture are quantitatively inherited.
These traits are difficult to study due to the complex nature of their inheritance.
However, recent developments of genomic technologies provide a revolutionary means
for unraveling the secrets of genetic variation in quantitative traits. Genomic technologies
allow the molecular characterization of polymorphic markers throughout the
entire genome that are then used to identify and map the genes or quantitative trait
loci (QTLs) underlying a quantitative trait based on linkage analysis.
