Arabidopsis Bay-0 x Shahdara RIL Published Phenotypes Database

    Summary:

The Bay-0 x Shahdara genetic reference population of 420 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) was created by Olivier Loudet and Sylvain Chaillou between 1997 and 2000 at the INRA in Versailles, France. It is currently one of the largest publically available Arabidopsis RIL sets.

    About the subjects:

The original set of RILs were derived from a cross between Bay-0 (accession N954) and Shahdara (accession N929); two accessions obtained from the NASC European Arabidopsis Stock Centre. Bay-0 and Shahdara were chosen because of their well characterized genetic, geographical, and ecological differences. Lines were propagated by single seed descent through the sixth generation (F6) without selection. One plant per line was then used for genotyping (420 RILs x 38 markers) and selfed to obtain F7 seeds. F8 seed stock generated by bulk multiplication of F7 plants are available for analysis for 411 of these RILs. WebQTL includes data for as many as 415 Bay-0 x Shahdara accessions and the two parental stock.

    About the acquisition these data:

The current phenotype database contains 14 published traits for Loudet et al. (2002), as well as one experimental phenotype data set (Loudet and colleagues, personal communication, April 2005). Please site the following publication when using these Bay-0 x Shahdara data:
