This workshop will present state-of-the-art research on cloning QTLs in plants, a key topic for genomics-based breeding and to gain a better understanding of the functional basis of quantitative traits. QTL cloning is particularly relevant to identify and/or edit key sequences that govern crop productivity and crop resilience to adverse conditions.
