The first Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population for Italian ryegrass reveals genomic regions associated with seed shattering
The first NAM population established in the outcrossing forage grass species Italian ryegrass is presented, to dissect the genetic control of seed shattering and demonstrate the effectiveness of NAM populations for elucidating the genetic architecture of complex traits in outcrossing forage grasses.
