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.

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

Markers, Maps, and Marker-Assisted Selection

2016
The development of molecular markers in kiwifruit followed the advances in molecular biology techniques. After occasional use of RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) markers in the 1990s, most markers developed in kiwifruit were based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction).

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

2012
Conventional plant breeding is largely dependent on selection of desirable plants which is highly decided by the genotype and environment interaction. Selecting plants in a segregating progeny that contain appropriate combinations of genes is a critical component of plant breeding. Usually, breeders improve crops by crossing plants with desired traits,

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 ...
