Development of an open-pollinated genetic mapping framework to facilitate the identification of QTL in apples

David Hickok, Awais Khan, Kelly R. Robbins

The paper develops an open-pollinated genetic mapping framework for apples to identify QTL, showing that MLMM outperforms MLM and demonstrating the feasibility of OP-based mapping for faster QTL discovery.

A pan-generic marker panel for apples to enable genetic research and breeding across Malus species

Aafreen Sakina, Richard Tegtmeier, Hana Feulner…·Awais Khan

The paper develops a pan-generic 3K DArTag marker panel for Malus species to enable genetic research and breeding, showing strong cross-species transferability and utility for QTL mapping and marker-assisted selection.
