A sexual/apomictic consensus linkage map of Eragrostis curvula at tetraploid level
This study presents the first consensus genetic map and the development of KASP markers for phenotyping reproductive modes in E. curvula. This map enables the association of the apomixis-determining region with molecular markers from both parental genotypes, including the reference sexual tetraploid genotype of the species (OTA-S). The development and validation of co-dominant molecular KASP markers linked to the APO locus provide a crucial tool for future research and breeding.
