In-field variation of transplanted lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) due to variable soil and environmental conditions is one of the major restrictions in the optimization of production and yield. Marker-assisted breeding for lettuce varieties with a more... Read More about Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked with root growth in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seedlings.
