Using markers to reduce the variation in the genomic composition in marker-assisted backcrossing.

Abstract excerpt

Marker-assisted introgression or backcrossing is a widely used method to improve commercial breeding lines or study the effects of genes in a homogeneous genetic background. In this context, the recovery of the recipient parent genome is a major objective of backcrossing. Selection on markers has been shown to be very useful to accelerate the rate of recovery of the recipient parent genome in backcrossing. In...
