Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting sugars, organic acids and other biochemical properties possibly contributing to flavor, identified in four advanced backcross populations of tomato (2002, background): “…the combined trait known as Brix-yield; particularly noteworthy is the success of combining lines containing QTL with undesirable side-effects with other lines containing QTL that can compensate for these negative effects (Bernacchi et al., 1998a; Monforte et al., 2000; Monforte & Tanksley, 2000b).”
Molecular techniques in crop improvement (2002, background): “In tomato, Monforte et al. (2001), and Chen and Tanksley (2004) have reported QTLs likely to be composed of multiple linked genes.”
Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources (2011, methodology): “, bottom of chromosomes 1 and 4), sub-ILs have been developed and evaluated in order to fine-map the QTLs and find more tightly linked markers, as well as to break undesirable linkages (Monforte and Tanksley 2000b; Monforte et al. 2001; Yates et al. 2004).”
