A pseudo-F1 mapping population was developed by crossing
two heterozygous parents, ‘AP13’ and ‘VS16’, as described
by Missaoui et al. [11] and Serba et al. [13]. AP13, the female
parent, was a selection from the lowland cultivar ‘Alamo’.
VS16, the male parent, was a selection from the upland
cultivar ‘Summer’. AP13 is taller and higher yielding than
VS16. A total of 188 full-sib progeny was used for mapping.
Each genotype was clonally propagated for multilocationreplicated
field evaluations.
