The influence of QTL allelic diversity on QTL detection in multi-parent populations: a simulation study in sugar beet
Multi-parent populations (MPPs) are important resources for studying plant genetic architecture and detecting quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In MPPs, the QTL effects can show various levels of allelic diversi... (Source: BMC Genetics)

Molecular mapping of a novel lesion mimic gene (lm4) associated with enhanced resistance to stripe rust in bread wheat
Lesion mimics (LMs) are disease-like symptoms that occur randomly on plant green leaves in the absence of pathogens. A previous study showed that LMs are related to enhanced resistance to a broad spectrum of d... (Source: BMC Genetics)

Climate stress resistance in male Queensland fruit fly varies among populations of diverse geographic origins and changes during domestication
The highly polyphagous Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni Froggatt) expanded its range substantially during the twentieth century and is now the most economically important insect pest of Australian horticul... (Source: BMC Genetics)

The hAT-family transposable element, hopper, from Bactrocera dorsalis is a functional vector for insect germline transformation
The hopper hAT-family transposable element isolated from the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is distantly related to both the Drosophila hobo element and the Activator element from maize. The original 31... (Source: BMC Genetics)

Building a transgenic sexing strain for genetic control of the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina using two lethal effectors
The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been successfully used in many pest management programs worldwide. Some SIT programs release both sexes due to the lack of genetic sexing strains or efficient sex separat... (Source: BMC Genetics)
