Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping has been thoroughly used in peanut genetics and breeding in spite of the narrow genetic diversity and the segmental tetraploid nature of the cultivated species. QTL mapping is helpful for identifying the genomic regions that contribute to traits, for estimating the extent of variation and the genetic action (i.e.

An adult plant stripe rust resistance gene Yr75 was located on the long arm of chromosome 7A. Fine mapping of the region identified markers closely linked with Yr75. Australian wheat cultivar Axe produced resistant to moderately resistant stripe rust responses under field conditions and was exhibiting seedling responses varying from 33C to 3+ under greenhouse conditions.
