Recent advancements in molecular marker-assisted selection and applications in plant breeding programmes

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Background DNA markers improved the productivity and accuracy of classical plant breeding by means of marker-assisted selection (MAS). The enormous number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping read for different plant species have given a plenitude ...

Development of a Marker Assisted Selection Program for Cacao [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 2007
Production of cacao in tropical America has been severely affected by fungal pathogens causing diseases known as witches' broom (WB, caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa), frosty pod (FP, caused by M. roreri) and black pod (BP, caused by Phytophthora spp.). BP is pan-tropical and causes losses in all producing areas.

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Identification of blast resistant rice (oryza sativa l.) genotypes in indigenous and exotic germplasm and validation of pi gene linked molecular markers

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
Rice Blast, a most devastating disease of Rice caused by Magnaporthe grisea can be effectively managed by use of resistant rice genotypes. Availability of resistant donors and validated molecular markers are essential to develop resistant cultivars ...

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Marker-assisted selection for quantitative traits

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011
Although thousands of scientific articles have been published on the subject of marker-assisted selection (MAS) and quantitative trait loci (QTL), the application of MAS for QTL in plant breeding has been restricted.

Identification of a new allele of the Dw gene causing brachytic dwarfing in peach

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective Peach brachytic dwarfism determined by Dwarf gene (Dw) is an undesired trait segregating in some peach breeding programs. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in the gibberellin insensitive dwarf 1 (GID1) peach gene causing

Current Status and Future Prospects of Molecular Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) in Millets

, 2023
Nutritional insecurity has become a major concern for the ever-growing world population. Millets, the small-seeded cereal crops, are predominantly cultivated in Asia and Africa and are an excellent alternative to major staple foods because of minimal ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Development of two sequence-specific PCR markers linked to the le gene that reduces pod shattering in narrow-leafed Lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
Wild types of narrow-leaf lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) have seed pods that shatter upon maturity, leading to the loss of their seeds before or during the harvest process.
