Marker Assisted Selection In Crop Improvement. Marker-assisted selection MAS is a novel technique of indirect selection of traits in rice breeding. In this new marker-assisted selection approach the selection of suitable parental lines Phase I and the development of new lines Phase III is overseen by crop breeders while DNA markers are used at an early stage of recombination to fix alleles at selected genomic regions Phase II. And how to incorporate these developments and advances in marker assisted selection in crop plants. It has been gaining importance in plant breeding with new generation of plant breeders and to get accurate and fast desired result from plant breeding.
Marker-assisted selection as a tool for genetic improvement of crops livestock forestry and fish in developing countries. In this new marker-assisted selection approach the selection of suitable parental lines Phase I and the development of new lines Phase III is overseen by crop breeders while DNA markers are used at an early stage of recombination to fix alleles at selected genomic regions Phase II. Despite the considerable resources that. Molecular marker maps the necessary framework for any MAS programme have been constructed for the majority of agriculturally important species although the density of the maps varies considerably among species. It has been gaining importance in plant breeding with new generation of plant breeders and to get accurate and fast desired result from plant breeding. MAS allows heritable traits to be linked to the DNA segments that are responsible for controlling that trait.
Marker-assisted selection MAS is a tool for crop improvement where an associated marker is used for indirect selection of a trait.
