Construction of an ultrahigh-density genetic linkage map for Jatropha curcas L. and identification of QTL for fruit yield

Abstract Background As an important biofuel plant, the demand for higher yield Jatropha curcas L. is rapidly increasing. However, genetic analysis of Jatropha and molecular breeding for higher yield have been hampered by the limited number of molecular markers available. Results An ultrahigh-density...
