MOLECULAR MARKER, QTL MAPPING AND MARKER-ASSISTED SELECTION FOR CROP IMPROVEMENT
PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION
- Substantial breeding efforts in the last century led to the
improvement of agronomic traits of many crops including yield, grain quality, heading date and stress tolerance…
- Agronomic traits are influenced by a number of genes, gene
x gene interaction and gene x environment interaction. Consequently, continuously phenotypic variation
- ccur
in hybrid progenies
- The genes are generally referred to as quantitative trait loci
