The map includes 14 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and four genes in a 5-cM region encompassing Sd. In addition we have used a DNA pooling approach to carry out a genome scan to localize quantitative trait loci (QTL) that modify the tail length of Sd progeny of the backcross. This has allowed us to identify a major QTL on chromosome 10 in the region of nodal and three other putative tail length QTL on chromosomes 1, 9, and 18. ER -
