Genetic Marker Assisted Breeding

Introductions

Genetic Marker Assisted Breeding For a long time, plant breeding selection is based on the phenotypic traits of plants. If the genetic basis of the trait is relatively simple, or the genetic basis is more complex but the genetic effect is an additive effect, phenotypic selection is effective. However, many important agronomic traits are quantitative traits (such as yield), or qualitative traits controlled by multiple genes (such as resistance), or traits whose phenotype is difficult to accurately identify (such as root vigor). At this time, the measurement of the genetic potential of the trait provided by the phenotype is inaccurate, so the selection is inefficient. Genetic breeders have proposed the use of markers for assisted selection to accelerate the process of breeding improvement. Genetic markers refer to any kind of genetic characteristics that can be traced to a chromosome, a certain segment of a chromosome, or a certain locus in the family. It has two basic characteristics, namely heritability and recognizability. Therefore, any genetic mutation with a different phenotype in the organism can be used as a genetic marker. Genetic markers have many obvious advantages, especially when molecular marker technology goes out of the laboratory and is closely integrated with conventional breeding, so it has been widely used in all aspects of modern crop genetic breeding research, such as molecular genetic map construction, gene mapping (QTL) and cloning, genetic diversity research, germplasm resources research (variety/quality identification), comparative genome research, etc.
