Using markers in gene introgression breeding programs.
We investigate the use of markers to hasten the recovery of the recipient genome during an introgression breeding program. The effects of time and intensity of selection, population size, number and position of selected markers are studied for chromosomes either carrying or not carrying the introgressed gene. We show that marker assisted selection may lead to a gain in time of about two generat...
متن کاملDNA fingerprints applied to gene introgression in breeding programs.
An application of DNA fingerprints (DFP) for gene introgression in breeding programs of both farm animals and plants is proposed. DFP loci, detectable by minisatellite probes, are extremely polymorphic. Individuals have unique patterns of DFP and thus can be selected for maximal genomic similarity to the recipient line, and minimal similarity to the donor line, using their DFP patterns as the c...
متن کاملMarker-assisted introgression in backcross breeding programs.
The efficiency of marker-assisted introgression in backcross populations derived from inbred lines was investigated by simulation. Background genotypes were simulated assuming that a genetic model of many genes of small effects in coupling phase explains the observed breed difference and variance in backcross populations. Markers were efficient in introgression backcross programs for simultaneo...
متن کاملApplication of myostatin in sheep breeding programs: A review
Myostatin or growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), has been known as the factor causing double muscling phenotypes in which a series of mutations make the myostatin protein inactive, hence disabling it to regulate the deposition of muscle fibre. This phenotype happens with high frequency in a breed of sheep known as the Texel. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies show that a portion of t...
