Association studies have rarely been used in plant genetics, in part because of the risk of false positives caused by population structure. A study of flowering time in maize makes the first use of recent 'structured association' methods-statistical approaches that use independent loci to control for the effects of structure and admixture.
关联研究在植物遗传学中很少被使用,部分原因是群体结构会导致出现假阳性结果的风险。一项关于玉米开花时间的研究首次运用了最近的“结构化关联”方法,即利用独立基因座来控制结构和混合效应的统计方法。
