Identification and verification of QTL associated with frost tolerance using linkage mapping and GWAS in winter faba bean

Frost stress is one of the abiotic stresses that causes a significant reduction in winter faba bean yield in Europe. The main objective of this work is to genetically improve frost tolerance in winter faba bean by identifying and validating QTL associated with frost tolerance to be used in marker-as...
