Fig. 1. Development of quantitative trait locusnear-isogenic lines (QTL-NILs) for testing QTL effects in diverse genetic backgrounds. In Step 1, heterogeneous F4 lines are identified after genotyping a bulk harvest of F3:4 plants with DNA markers flanking the QTL of interest. In Steps 2 through 5, progeny screening of heterozygous plants produces F4derived QTL-NILs that are then increased. The + and symbols indicate the allelic status of the markers for the QTL, with + representing the marker for the allele under selection and representing the allele not under selection.
