| Research Abstract |
The cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa) are classified based on morphological characteristics such as head formation, leaf margin and leaf length/width ratio, which affect the market price of product and are quantitative traits with continuous phenotypic ranges. F5 population was derived from a cross between two cultivars,'Chimasanchu'(green stem lettuce) and'Redfire'(red leaf lettuce) was used to QTL analysis. In LG1, the QTL for leaf angle co-located with QTLs for leaf length, midrib width and leaf length/width ratio, while in LG8, the QTL for leaf length was co-located with a leaf length/width ratio QTL. This may represent the pleiotropic effects of a single gene or cluster of genes regulates these traits.
