Approximate estimation of minimal sample size required for marker-assisted backcross breeding.

Abstract excerpt

Backcross breeding is a useful method to transfer favorable alleles from a donor parent into a recipient parent. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) can speed up the process. To make an appropriate plan before using MAS in a breeding program, breeders need to know the minimal sample size of the progeny generation required. A method to estimate the minimal sample size required for marker-assisted backcross breeding...
