Arabidopsis Col X Cvi Genotypes Database

    Summary:

The Col x Cvi genetic reference population consists of approximately 367 recombinant inbred lines (RIL). This set was created by Olivier Loudet and colleagues between 2003 and 2006 at the INRA in Versailles, France. Arabidopsis has a genome consisting of five chromsomes and a total of 125 megabases of DNA, equivalent in length to a single human chromosome. However, the genome is nonetheless rich and contains approximately 26,000 genes. Full sequence data are available for this species. (The Col-0 accession was sequenced.)

The RILs were derived from a cross between Col-0 (Columbia, USA, accession N1092) and Cvi-0 (Cape Verde Island, accession N902); two accessions obtained from the NASC European Arabidopsis Stock Centre. Col-0 and Cvi-0 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 (367 RILs x 90 markers) and selfed to obtain F7 seeds. F8 seed stock generated by bulk multiplication of F7 plants are available for analysis.

    About the genotypes used in these studies:

This production of the ColXCvi Arabidopsis genotype data set is described in Loudet and colleagues (in progress). This marker data set consists of 90 markers for most strains. It is used to map QTLs for phenotypes listed in the ColXCvi Published Phenotypes data set.
