Abstract SNPscan breeder is a software that enables the simulation of breeding programs using simulated individual whole genome data, different genetic architectures trait interest, mating designs and selection criteria, i.e. pheno-types, values from progeny tests, marker-assisted (MAS) genomic (GS). The impact population size, design, intensity, architecture, heritability criteria on gains, ki...

in order to map the genomic regions affecting barley drought tolerance indices, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural and natural resource station of sistan. seventy tow double haploid lines of barley with their parents (steptoe and morex) were examined using two 9×9 simple lattice (stress and non-stress), with two replications. each plot consisted of six rows that were 3m in length a...

There is a large gap between genomewide association studies (GWAS) and developing markers that can be used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) schemes for cultivar improvement. This study prototype using segregating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) panicle architecture grain shape traits identified by GWAS the Rice Diversity Panel-1 colocalized QTL regions revealed linkage mapping Estrela ...

in this research, allele frequency and polymorphism of 27 microsatellite markers linked to gene loci controlling grain quality were determined between 47 rice varieties from four different groups including 21 iranian local, 16 improved, 7 irri and 3 upland rice varieties. average number of polymorphic information content (pic) and shannon’s diversity index were 0.54 and 1.14, respectively. maxi...

the growth hormone receptor (ghr) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (gh) on target tissues. therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of tg-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine ghr gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (scs) in holstein cattle of iran. the part of 5’...

Bacterial halo blight (BHB) is a bacterial disease, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae, which has been gaining prominence in the main coffee-producing regions. Chemical control of this disease increases production costs and environmentally undesirable. In scenario, development new cultivars resistant to BHB most economical sustainable alternative. Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) an appro...

Jute is an important crop of the Indian subcontinent and comprises tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius) and white jute (C. capsularis). The yield and fi ber quality of this crop remained stagnant for many years and could not be improved through conventional plant breeding. Also, no effort has been made to develop molecular markers on a scale required for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to supplemen...

Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Burkholder) Young et al. (Psp) causes halo blight, which is a serious bacterial disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Several resistance (R) genes have been discovered in host differential cultivar ZAA 12. Our objectives were to further characterize and enable marker-assisted selection (MAS) of the Pse-2 gene in ZAA 12 purported to have broad eff...

INTRODuCTION Genetic markers provide information about allelic variation at a given locus. The increasing availability of molecular markers in farm animals allows the detailed analyses and evaluation of genetic diversity and furthermore the detection of genes influencing economically important traits. The majority of molecular markers used nowadays with high-throughput systems are microsatellit...
