Brachypodium distachyon strain:Bd21XBd1-1 | isolate:Bd21 and Bd1-1 Genome sequencing and assembly

In this study, we developed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from a cross between Bd21 (rapid-flowering accession) and Bd1-1 (delayed-flowering accession) to explore the genetic architecture of flowering time in B. distachyon. We observed significant variation in flowering behavior among the 142 RILs in response to various environmental conditions. We used genotype by sequencing to create a genetic map for the RIL population, and then conducted a QTL analysis to determine the genetic architecture of flowering regulation in this population
