The objective of this paper was to study the genetic architecture of vegetative propagation by detecting Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) in pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur). The mapping population consisted on an F-1 family of 278 offspring. Assessment of rooting ability over three years permitted the detection of 10 QTLs explaining between 4.4 and 13.8\% of phenotypic variance, of which the two strongest were stable across years. Ongoing genomics programs in trees and in Arabidopsis are starting to shed light on the nature of the underlying genes.", optnote="ISI:000229668600010", optnote="exported from refbase (http://php.ecofog.gf/refbase/show.php?record=255), last updated on Wed, 04 May 2011 14:24:18 -0300", issn="1286-4560" }
