Detection of QTL in multiple segregating populations is of high interest as it includes more alleles than mapping in a single biparental population. In addition, such populations are routinely generated in applied plant breeding programs and can thus be used to identify QTL which are of direct relevance for a marker-assisted improvement of elite germplasm. Multiple-line cross QTL mapping and joint linkage association mapping were used for QTL detection. We empirically compared these two different biometrical approaches with regard to QTL detection for important agronomic traits in nine segregating populations of elite rapeseed lines. The plants were intensively phenotyped in multi-location field trials and genotyped with 253 SNP markers. Both approaches detected several additive QTL for diverse traits, including flowering time, plant height, protein content, oil content, glucosinolate content, and grain yield. In addition, we identified one epistatic QTL for flowering time. Consequently, both approaches appear suited for QTL detection in multiple segregating populations.
