Genetic mapping and marker assisted selection (MAS) is considered
as one of the major tools in genetic improvement of crop plants in
this genomics era. This book describes basics in linkage mapping,
step-by-step procedure to perform MAS, achievements made so far in
different crops, and limitations and prospects of MAS in plant
breeding. It summarizes all this in a simple but comprehensive mode
using suitable examples so as to explain the concept and its
historical developments. To summarize, this book describes
technologies for identification of genes of interest through
genetic mapping, recaps the major applications of MAS to plant
breeding; lists examples in which MAS is being applied to various
breeding programs, and emphasizes the various difficulties that
limit the application of MAS in plant breeding, providing possible
solutions to overcome these difficulties, and finally tries to
illustrate the future prospects. This book would be a valuable
guide to the under-graduates and post-graduates of agricultural
universities and institutes that are interested and/or involved in
genetic improvement of crop plants using modern tools. Bibliography
listed in this book constitutes two parts: literature cited and
further reading. Literature cited contains references cited in the
text and further information on the given concept/technique can be
obtained from these references. Further reading provides a list of
suggested readings for in-depth coverage of the topics.
