QTL mapping and candidate gene identification for fodder quality traits in Pearl millet
The differentially expressed genes incorporating the regulatory elements governing the lignin pathway have direct or indirect effects on fodder digestibility and quality. Exploiting these factors can contribute to the direct improvement of fodder quality. The identified QTLs and candidate genes from this study could facilitate the development of gene based markers for fodder improvement.
