Molecular Markers in Plant Breeding

Application of DNA Molecular Markers in Plant Breeding (Review article)

Plant Breeding has utilized a wide range of techniques and methods to improve the quality and quantity of plants. The molecular markers are the tools that have provided a new perspective for plant breeding advancements. This article has reviewed the various advantages and uses of molecular markers and the utilization of the high potential of natural polymorphisms within communities, combined wi...

Prediction of genetic values of quantitative traits in plant breeding using pedigree and molecular markers.

The availability of dense molecular markers has made possible the use of genomic selection (GS) for plant breeding. However, the evaluation of models for GS in real plant populations is very limited. This article evaluates the performance of parametric and semiparametric models for GS using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays) data in which different traits were measured in several...

Genomic Prediction of Quantitative Traits in Plant Breeding Using Molecular Markers and Pedigree

ABSTRACT The availability of thousands of genome wide molecular markers has made possible the use of genomic selection in plants and animals. However, the evaluation of models for genomic selection in plant breeding populations is very limited. In this study, we provide an overview of several models for genomic selection, whose predictive ability we investigated using two plant data sets. One d...
