A population of 228 lines from a tolerant x susceptible cross has had DNA extracted and a polymorphism scan is underway. High and low phenotypic tails for vegetative waterlogging stress tolerance have been identified, and genotyping is underway. We expect to have identified any large-effect QTL segregating in the population and have initiated fine-mapping by the end of March 2010.
