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

Efficiency of marker assisted selection
Animal Biotechnology, 1997 Abstract Genetic markers can be used in breeding programmes in a variety of ways. Here we emphasize marker assisted introgression in crossbred populations, and marker assisted selection in outbred populations. As marker typing costs reduce, the value of their use in a breeding programme will be dominated by returns rather than their costs.

Identification of sex in F1 progenies of hop (Humulus lupulus L.) by molecular marker
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2002 Sex identification for hop (Humulus lupulus L.), which is a dioecious plant, is very important for breeding process. The use of molecular methods for marker-assisted selection (MAS) provides rapid and reliable identification of sex in F1 progenies.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 To increase genetic gain for tolerance to drought, we aimed to identify environmentally stable QTL in per se and testcross combination under well-watered (WW) and drought stressed (DS) conditions and evaluate the possible deployment of QTL using marker ...

bioRxiv, 2018 Despite strong interest over many years, the usage of quantitative trait loci in plant breeding has often failed to live up to expectations. A key weak point in the utilisation of QTLs is the “quality” of markers used during marker-assisted selection ...

Towards marker assisted selection in livestock [PDF]
Reproduction Nutrition Development, 1999 In recent years, genomic tools have become available for most livestock species and are now being used routinely to map quantitative trait loci underlying the genetic variance for numerous economically important traits. Fine-mapping methods are being devised to refine the initially coarse map positions of the quantitative trait loci to the point ...

Identification of quantitative trait loci controlling root and shoot traits associated with drought tolerance in a lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) recombinant inbred line population [PDF]
, 2016 Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting lentil productivity in rainfed production systems. Specific rooting patterns can be associated with drought avoidance mechanisms that can be used in lentil breeding programs.

Rice, 2018 Marker-assisted breeding will move forward from introgressing single/multiple genes governing a single trait to multiple genes governing multiple traits to combat emerging biotic and abiotic stresses related to climate change and to enhance rice ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Crop biofortification is a successful strategy to ameliorate Vitamin A deficiency. Sorghum is a good candidate for vitamin A biofortification, as it is a staple food in regions with high prevalence of vitamin A deficiency.

Identification of a molecular marker linked to apomixis in Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae) [PDF]
, 2010 A bulked segregant analysis using RAPD technique was carried out to identify molecular markers linked to apomixis in a Brachiaria humidicola F1 population that segregated 1 : 1 for the mode of reproduction (apomixis and sexual).
