Parental polymorphism survey using rice microsatellite markers between VGD 1 and ADT 55 for marker-assisted backcross breeding program

Marker-assisted backcross breeding program was anticipated to introgress bacterial blight (BB) resistance genes into an elite fine-grain rice cultivar VGD 1. Pyramided with three (xa5, Xa13, Xa21), ADT 55 the donor parent. A parental polymorphism survey executed between VGD1 and using genome-wide simple sequence repeats (SSR) also called microsatellite markers, identify polymorphic markers. Distributed throughout 12 chromosomes of rice, in current research 166 SSR markers were employed, out which 58 are found be 1 35% percentage information content (PIC) is about 0.6. The obtained through this could utilized for background selection progenies retrieve highest recurrent parent genome.
