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

Marker-Assisted Selection and Genomic Selection
Breeding techniques and molecular tools, i.e., biotechnology, have increased crop yield over the last century. Marker-assisted selection and, more recently, genome-wide association studies and genomic selection have been used as tools of breeding programs, especially in the resistant genotype selection.

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.

Marker-assisted selection for quantitative traits [PDF]
Although thousands of scientific articles have been published on the subject of marker-assisted selection (MAS) andquantitative trait loci (QTL), the application of MAS for QTL in plant breeding has been restricted.

Identification of a molecular marker linked to apomixis in Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae) [PDF]
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).
