A selection method of chickens with blue-eggshell and dwarf traits by molecular marker-assisted selection

improvement of white button mushroom yield by aflp marker-assisted single spore selection method

the white button mushroom, agaricus bisporus, is a commercially important cultivated filamentous fungus. strain stability is of great importance to both spawn producers and mushroom growers. mushroom strains are usually propagated via vegetative method on nutritionally rich substrates. abnormal growth and poor yield ‎are the consequences of this replication method. the reason for this phenomeno...

Molecular marker-assisted selection of the ae alleles in maize.

The ae (amylose extender) recessive mutant alleles in maize are an important genetic resource for the development of high-amylose cultivars. On the basis of ae allele sequences (from the National Center for Biotechnology Information), the ae mutant alleles were cloned from high-amylose maize and the allelic Ae gene from common maize luyuan92 inbred lines. Five pairs of primers were designed to ...

Genomic selection: marker assisted selection on a genome wide scale.

Genomic selection (GS) has become a very intense field of research during recent years. GS may be defined as the simultaneous selection for many (tens or hundreds of thousands of) markers, which cover the entire genome in a dense manner so that all genes are expected to be in linkage disequilibrium with at least some of the markers. In a sense, GS is marker assisted selection on a genome wide s...

Molecular marker assisted selection as approach to increase the selection efficiency of drought tolerant genotypes

Identifying the complete-linked molecular markers with target gene and mapping its chromosome locus is an important goal in plant breeding for gene cloning and marker-aided selection. Due to complexity of the interactions, in most of the agronomic traits, especially the interaction between the grain yield and the environmental factors, classic methods do not function appropriately in improving ...
