Abstract
Cloning quantitative trait loci (QTL) in crops is often slow and laborious. Here, the authors describe RapMap, a method to rapidly clone multiple QTL based on F2 gradient populations coupled with a co-segregation standard, and show how it can be used to identify genes controlling grain size in rice.
