Marker assisted selection with optimised contributions of the candidates to selection [PDF]
The benefits of marker assisted selection (MAS) are evaluated under realistic assumptions in schemes where the genetic contributions of the candidates to selection are optimised for maximising the rate of genetic progress while restricting the ...

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.

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 ...

Background Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) is an important staple food crop widely grown in Africa and South Asia. Among the millets, finger millet has high amount of calcium, methionine, tryptophan, fiber, and sulphur containing amino ...

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

Using marker-maps in marker-assisted selection
SummaryA method of using information on the location of markers to improve the efficiency of markerassisted selection (MAS) in a population produced by a cross between two inbred lines is developed. The method is closer to mapping QTL than the selection index approaches to MAS described by previous authors.

Microsatellite-assisted backcross selection in maize
A microsatellite marker (SSR) was chosen to simulate a target allele and three criteria (02, 04 and 06 markers per chromosome) were tested to evaluate the most efficient parameters for performing marker-assisted backcross (MAB) selection.
