Recent progress in plant genome analysis has made it possible to examine the naturally occurring allelic variation underlying complex traits. Many studies have described the genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for several kinds of complex phenotypic traits. Some researchers have taken up the challenge of performing the molecular cloning of genes at these loci, and examples of cloning have recently been reported. Naturally occurring allelic variation could be a new resource for the functional analysis of plant genes.
植物基因组分析的最新进展使得研究复杂性状背后自然发生的等位基因变异成为可能。许多研究已经描述了几种复杂表型性状的数量性状位点的遗传定位。一些研究人员已经接受了在这些位点进行基因分子克隆的挑战，并且最近已经报道了克隆的实例。自然发生的等位基因变异可能是植物基因功能分析的一种新资源。
