Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of leaf related traits in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
Abstract Background Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an important leafy vegetable crop, and leaf-related traits including leaf length, leaf width, and petiole length, are important commercial traits. However, the underlying genes remain unclear. The objective of the study was to conduct QTL mapping...
