Construction of the first high-density genetic map and QTL mapping for photosynthetic traits in Lycium barbarum L.

Photosynthesis is essential for plant development as well as crop yield. QTL mapping was conducted for photosynthetic traits such as net photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (Cond), inner-cellular carbon dioxide (Ci), transpiration rate (Trmmol), limiting value of the stoma (Ls), and water use efficiency (WUE). A high-density genetic map covering 964.03 cM was developed based on a hybrid population of the Goji (Lycium barbarum L.). The...
