Development of genic KASP SNP markers from RNA-Seq data for map-based cloning and marker-assisted selection in maize

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Maize is one of the most important field crops in the world. Most of the key agronomic traits, including yield traits and plant architecture traits, are quantitative.

Nanopore RNA Sequencing Revealed Long Non-Coding and LTR Retrotransposon-Related RNAs Expressed at Early Stages of Triticale SEED Development

Plants, 2020
The intergenic space of plant genomes encodes many functionally important yet unexplored RNAs. The genomic loci encoding these RNAs are often considered “junk”, DNA as they are frequently associated with repeat-rich regions of the genome.

Functional Allium fistulosum Centromeres Comprise Arrays of a Long Satellite Repeat, Insertions of Retrotransposons and Chloroplast DNA

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The centromere is a unique part of the chromosome combining a conserved function with an extreme variability in its DNA sequence. Most of our knowledge about the functional centromere organization is obtained from species with small and medium genome ...

The Wheat 660K SNP array demonstrates great potential for marker‐assisted selection in polyploid wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020
The rapid development and application of molecular marker assays have facilitated genomic selection and genome‐wide linkage and association studies in wheat breeding. Although PCR‐based markers (e.g.

Selection Theory for Marker-Assisted Backcrossing [PDF]

Genetics, 2005
Abstract Marker-assisted backcrossing is routinely applied in breeding programs for gene introgression. While selection theory is the most important tool for the design of breeding programs for improvement of quantitative characters, no general selection theory is available for marker-assisted backcrossing. In this treatise, we develop a

Pyramiding Bacterial Blight Resistance Genes in Tainung82 for Broad-Spectrum Resistance Using Marker-Assisted Selection

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Tainung82 (TNG82) is one of the most popular japonica varieties in Taiwan due to its relatively high yield and grain quality, however, TNG82 is susceptible to bacterial blight (BB) disease.

A Population Genetics Model of Marker-Assisted Selection [PDF]

Genetics, 1997
A deterministic two-loci model was developed to predict genetic response to marker-assisted selection (MAS) in one generation and in multiple generations. Formulas were derived to relate linkage disequilibrium in a population to the proportion of additive genetic variance used by MAS, and in turn to an extra improvement in genetic response over ...

Marker-assisted selection:A smart biotechnological strategy for modern plant breeding

Peruvian Journal of Agronomy, 2020
Plant breeders and geneticists use molecular marker-assisted selection also called as MAS as a useful approach for breeding of plant to make selection more efficient and speed up the breeding cycle. MAS can be more efficient, effective, and reliable than
