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

Plant breeding with marker-assisted selection in Brazil [PDF]
Over the past three decades, molecular marker studies reached extraordinary advances, especially for sequencing and bioinformatics techniques. Marker-assisted selection became part of the breeding program routines of important seed companies, in ...

Soybean pod shattering resistance allele pdh1 and marker‐assisted selection [PDF]
Pod shattering is a major production constraint of soybean [Glycine max (L.)]. The objectives of this study were to (i) estimate heritability for pod shattering resistance, (ii) determine the frequency of the pod shattering resistance allele pdh1 in the ...

Efficiency of marker assisted selection
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.

Prediction of haplotypes for ungenotyped animals and its effect on marker-assisted breeding value estimation [PDF]
Background: In livestock populations, missing genotypes on a large proportion of animals are a major problem to implement the estimation of marker-assisted breeding values using haplotypes.

Selection Theory for Marker-Assisted Backcrossing [PDF]
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

A Rosaceae family-level candidate gene approach was used to identify genes associated with sugar content in blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus). Three regions conserved among apple (Malus × domestica), peach (Prunus persica), and alpine strawberry ...

Triticale is a relatively new crop which still possesses serious drawbacks that can be significantly improved by breeding. The dwarfing genes proved to be very useful in the development of new lodging resistant and productive cultivars of winter ...
