Marker‐Assisted Selection

Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2005
Marker‐assisted selection (MAS) is a method of selecting individuals in a breeding scheme based on DNA molecular marker patterns instead of, or in addition to, their trait values. When used in appropriate situations, it is a tool that can help plant breeders select more efficiently for desirable crop traits.

MARKER ASSISTED SELECTION IN HOP BREEDING

Acta Horticulturae, 2005
Genetic maps have been constructed for many crops, for mapping monogenic traits and dissecting polygenic traits and to provide a basis for marker assisted selection (MAS), which is a very useful breeding strategy in the creation of new varieties. The Slovenian Institute for Hop Research and Brewing (SIHRB) has performed conventional hop breeding, which

Marker-Assisted Selection

2017
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a method of selecting desirable individuals in a breeding program based on molecular markers with or without consideration of their trait values. This allows indirect selection of specific characteristics of a plant based on the encoding genomic region. The introduction of next-generation sequencing technology and the

Marker-assisted selection

1993
The use of polymorphic single genes to facilitate the process of plant breeding was proposed early in this Century (Sax, 1923). The basic principle is that selection for characters with easily detectable phenotypes can simplify the recovery of genes of interest linked to them and more difficult to score.

MARKER-ASSISTED SELECTION IN APPLE BREEDING

Acta Horticulturae, 2000
Apple breeding is aimed at creating varieties with high fruit quality, regular and high yields and durable disease and pest resistance. Traditional breeding is time and labour consuming. DNA markers for traits related to fruit quality, productivity and resistances will allow early and precise selection for desired characters. Within the framework of an

Marker-Assisted Selection

1999
The concept of indirect selection is attractive to plant breeders working to improve complex traits. For the successful application of indirect selection, a high level of correlation and/or linkage must exist between the trait of agronomic interest and the trait being directly selected.

A general framework for marker-assisted selection

Theoretical Population Biology, 2007
Early simulation studies have showed that the inclusion of epistatic components (especially the additive-by-additive effects) into marker-assisted selection (MAS) can improve selection efficiency for a short-term breeding program. In this study I extend Lande and Thompson's theory to incorporate both additive and non-additive effects into MAS with ...

Marker assisted selection in livestock

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1996
With the rapid development of genome maps of livestock, many genetic markers are becoming available. These markers usually have no affect on animals in their own right, their value is that they allow the inheritance of sections of chromosome to be followed in suitable pedigrees. How then may genetic markers be used in livestock breeding?

Marker-assisted selection in poultry

2017
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a form of indirect selection that depends on the accuracy of measuring the marker and the genetic correlation between them. This chapter describes the development of large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with high-throughput automated technology, which has made MAS applicable to ...

Marker-Assisted Selection in Sorghum

2007
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important food and feed crop in many parts of the world, and has potential uses in the biofuels industry. Compared to most other cereals, sorghum is more tolerant to many abiotic stresses, including heat, drought, and flooding, making it an ideal crop for growing on marginal lands as demands for food, feed ...
