Candidate-gene association analysis: obtain homogenous gene joined the tocopherol pathway from Arabidopsis

Linkage analysis: QTL mapping in two F2 populations to dissect tocopherol and carotenoid pathway

Genome-wide association analysis: get the genotype from array & chip and re-sequencing, analysis relation between the tocopherol and the genotype
