Selective genotyping for discovery of QTL controlling flowering time in dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.)

Dolichos bean is grown in environments with short and long crop growth seasons. Development deployment of cultivars flowering time (FT) that matches prevailing season help maximize their productivity the to which they are targeted. Dependable knowledge on genetic basis FT enables use most appropriate selection strategy breed desired FT. We unraveled by detecting QTL controlling using SSR markers following selective genotyping (SGS) F2 mapping population (MP). evaluated effectiveness SGS as compared entire MP (EGS) detect Our results suggest alleles at two (LPD 25 LPD 190) linked both EGS. provide adequate evidence for comparable statistical power relative EGS detection
