Plant breeding—in combination with developments in agricultural technology such as
agrochemicals—has made remarkable progress in increasing crop yields for over a century.
However, plant breeders must constantly respond to many changes. First, agricultural
practices change, which creates the need for developing genotypes with specific agronomic
characteristics. Second, target environments and the organisms within them are constantly
changing. For example, fungal and insect pests continually evolve and overcome host– plant
resistance. New land areas are regularly being used for farming, exposing plants to altered
growing conditions. Finally, consumer preferences and requirements change. Plant breeders
therefore face the endless task of continually developing new crop varieties.

To overcome the demand of food for the world crop improvement in lesser time duration
is needed, for that DNA markers are very useful to detect the presence of allelic
variation in the genes underlying these traits. By using DNA markers to assist in plant
breeding, efficiency an d precision could be greatly increased. The use of DNA markers
in plant breeding is called marker-assisted selection (MAS) and is a component of the
new discipline of ‘molecular breeding’.

Marker assisted selection (MAS) refers to the use of DNA markers that are tightly-linked to target loci as a substitute for or to assist phenotypic screening
![Page 5: Marker assistant selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/5873c8911a28ab9d168b47af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reliability. Markers should be tightly linked to target loci, preferably less than 5 cM genetic distance. The use of flanking markers or intragenic markers will
greatly increase the reliability of the markers to predict phenotype
DNA quantity and quality. Some marker techniques require large amounts and high quality of DNA, which may sometimes be difficult to obtain in practice, and this adds to the cost of the procedures.

Technical procedure. The level of simplicity and the time required for the technique are critical considerations. Highly simple and quick methods are highly desirable.
Level of polymorphism. Ideally, the marker should be highly polymorphic in breeding material (i.e. it should discriminate between different genotypes), especially in core breeding material.
Cost. The marker assay must be cost-effective in order for MAS to be feasible.

Ideally markers should be <5 cM from a gene or QTL
• Using a pair of flanking markers can greatly improve reliability but increases time and cost

Widely used for combining multiple disease resistance genes for specific races of a pathogen
Pyramiding is extremely difficult to achieve using conventional methods
Important to develop ‘durable’ disease resistance against different races

MAS conducted at F2 or F3 stage Plants with desirable genes/QTLs are
selected and alleles can be ‘fixed’ in the homozygous state◦ plants with undesirable gene combinations can be
discarded Advantage for later stages of breeding
program because resources can be used to focus on fewer lines

Simpler method compared to phenotypic screening◦ Especially for traits with laborious screening◦ May save time and resources
Selection at seedling stage◦ Important for traits such as grain quality◦ Can select before transplanting
Increased reliability◦ No environmental effects◦ Can discriminate between homozygotes and
heterozygotes and select single plants

A literature review indicates thousands of QTL mapping studies but not many actual reports of the application of MAS in breeding
![Page 20: Marker assistant selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062503/5873c8911a28ab9d168b47af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Resources (equipment) not available Markers may not be cost-effective Accuracy of QTL mapping studies QTL effects may depend on genetic background
or be influenced by environmental conditions Lack of suitable marker for polymorphism in
particular breeding material Poor integration of molecular genetics and
conventional breeding

Cost-efficiency has rarely been calculated but MAS is more expensive for most traits◦ Exceptions include quality traits
Determined by:◦ Trait and method for phenotypic screening◦ Cost of glasshouse/field trials◦ Labour costs◦ Type of markers used

Large ‘gaps’ remain between marker development and plant breeding◦ QTL mapping/marker development have been
separated from breeding◦ Effective transfer of data or information between
research institute and breeding station may not occur
Essential concepts in may not be understood by molecular biologists and breeders (and other disciplines)

MAS has great scope, because MAS saves time and labour. And these are the most important benefits in the competetive field of PLANT BREEDING from research point of view and ultimately to give food security to the people of the world.
