Develop a marker program that can be used in marker-assisted selection for traits that deal with winter hardiness. Objectives are (1) increase the size of the linkage group associated with the Fulghum X Norline mapping population and reanalyze data for new and existing QTL associated with winter hardiness component traits as well as (2) use association mapping to confirm and locate new loci dealing with winter hardiness component traits in the fall sown oat population.
