Making use of the markers linked closely to QTL for early-maturing traits for MAS (Marker-assisted selection) is an effective method for the simultaneous improvement of early maturity and other properties in cotton. In this study, two F2 populations and their F2:3 families were generated from the two upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crosses, Baimian2 × TM-1 and Baimian2 × CIR12. QTL for ea...

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...

Powdery mildew of melon caused by the Podosphaera xanthii factor is a disease that causes serious yield losses economically in all areas where grown from Asia to Europe and America. The use resistant varieties for control most environmentally friendly method. However, traditional methods breeding have made noteworthy input resistance improvement, but they been slow incompetent targeting complex...

The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, is the second most consumed vegetable worldwide and a well-studied crop species in terms of genetics, genomics, and breeding. It is one of the earliest crop plants for which a genetic linkage map was constructed, and currently there are several molecular maps based on crosses between the cultivated and various wild species of tomato. The high-dens...

Improving cooking and eating quality of rice is one of the important objectives of many breeding programs. The study of genetic diversity in specific regions of rice genome using molecular markers is an important index that can be used for the application of marker assisted selection (MAS) in rice breeding programs. In this study, 48 rice genotypes were grouped using 7 microsatellite (SSR) mark...

There are currently different techniques, such as CGH arrays, to study genetic variations in patients. CGH arrays analyze gains and losses in different regions in the chromosome. Regions with gains or losses in pathologies are important for selecting relevant genes or CNVs (copy-number variations) associated with the variations detected within chromosomes. Information corresponding to mutations...

Over the last few decades, the use of molecular markers has played an increasing role in rice breeding and genetics. Of the different types of molecular markers, microsatellites have been utilized most extensively, because they can be readily amplified by PCR and the large amount of allelic variation at each locus. Microsatellites are also known as simple sequence repeats (SSR), and they are ty...

Cultivated maize (Zea mays L.) is the oldest and one of most important crop species in world. Changing climatic conditions recent years, warm weather, expansion acreage intensification cultivation have resulted an increase threat posed by diseases caused by, among others, Fusarium fungi. Breeding success all plant determined access to starting materials with possible high genetic diversity also...

Markers are any trait of an organism that can be identified with confidence and relative ease, followed in a mapping population or they defined as heritable entities associated the economically important under control polygenes. Molecular markers have diverse applications fruit crop improvement, particularly areas genetic diversity varietal identification studies, disease diagnostics, hybrid de...
