Article Synopsis
- Linkage analysis helps identify associations between genetic markers and traits in forest tree families.
- A study used a female-tester design with 200 full-sib families in radiata pine to investigate how marker-allele frequencies relate to family performance on economic traits.
- The findings suggest weak evidence for marker-trait linkage disequilibrium and indicate that the study's design may have skewed the detection of associations, pointing to the need for further research.
