Marker-assisted introgression of drought tolerance from wild ancestors into popular Indian rice varieties
Using a 7K Infinium SNP array
Abstract
Recent advances in the area of genomics have led to the development of high throughput genotyping platforms that have immensely contributed to molecular breeding programs. Custom-designed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays provide an efficient, cost effective, high throughput genotyping tool for QTL/gene mapping, variety identification, marker-assisted selection, etc. In the current study, two interspecific libraries of Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines (CSSLs) were evaluated under both drought and control conditions to identify lines with superior yield under drought.
This is a publication arising from the Sustainable Crop production for International Development (SCPRID) programme.
