QTL-seq approach identified genomic regions and diagnostic markers for rust and late leaf spot resistance in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
The results presented in this study suggest the usefulness of a QTL-seq approach for the precise and rapid identification of candidate genomic regions and the development of diagnostic markers for breeding applications. The approach was applied to identify genomic regions and diagnostic markers for rust and late leaf spot resistance in groundnut
