Description

"Advances in Molecular Breeding and Marker-Assisted Selection" explores the transformative impact of molecular markers in plant breeding. The book details the integration of molecular tools into traditional breeding methods, creating the discipline of "molecular breeding" or "marker-assisted breeding." It covers the historical development of markers, starting from early morphological markers to the more advanced molecular markers, such as SSRs and SNPs, which have revolutionized the ability to identify and select for desirable traits. The book further delves into marker-assisted selection (MAS), marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC), and recurrent selection schemes (MARS), emphasizing how these technologies have led to the development of "super organics" or improved crop varieties. Additionally, it introduces the concept of functional markers and their application in linking genotype with phenotype, providing readers with comprehensive knowledge of genetic marker systems and their role in modern plant breeding.

Abstract

This book provides a detailed exploration of the role of molecular markers in plant breeding, a field that has transformed agricultural practices. It discusses the evolution of markers from morphological traits to molecular tools, such as SSRs and SNPs, and their application in marker-assisted selection (MAS). The text highlights the use of molecular markers for constructing linkage maps, detecting quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and facilitating the introgression of target genes. It further covers advanced concepts like marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC), recurrent selection (MARS), and genomic selection (GS), which are used to accumulate beneficial traits across generations. The book emphasizes the importance of ideal markers and introduces functional markers, both direct and indirect, in breeding programs. Aimed at students, researchers, and professionals in the field, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to molecular breeding techniques that drive the development of improved crop varieties.This book provides a detailed exploration of the role of molecular markers in plant breeding, a field that has transformed agricultural practices.
