Current & Future Directions
-Generation of additional genetic markers by Multiplexed
Shotgun Genotyping (Andolfatto, et al., 2011)

-Fine mapping and RNA-sequencing to identify differentially
expressed genes underlying the QTL intervals

-Introgression the genomic regions into additional cultivars to
assay yield under specific nutrient-limited conditions
