Functional markers in plants
TL;DR: The definition, development, application and prospects of functional markers are outlined and are superior to random DNA markers such as RFLPs, SSRs and AFLPs owing to complete linkage with trait locus alleles.

TL;DR: The most recent advances in plant physiology for precision phenotyping of drought response are discussed, a vital step before implementing the genetic and molecular-physiological strategies to unravel the complex multilayered drought tolerance mechanism and further exploration using molecular breeding approaches for crop improvement.

Assessing genetic diversity and population structure in a citrus germplasm collection utilizing simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs)
TL;DR: The hypothesis that there are only a few naturally occurring species of Citrus and most other types of Citrim arose through various hybridization events between these naturally occurring forms is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative assessment of EST-SSR, EST-SNP and AFLP markers for evaluation of genetic diversity and conservation of genetic resources using wild, cultivated and elite barleys
TL;DR: The present study suggests the SNP markers as the best class of markers for characterizing and conserving the genebank materials and the AFLP and SSR markers more suitable for diversity analysis and fingerprinting.

Genetic variability of drought-avoidance root traits in the mini-core germplasm collection of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Junichi Kashiwagi,L. Krishnamurthy,Hari D. Upadhyaya,Hari Krishna,Subhash Chandra,Vincent Vadez,Rachid Serraj +6 more
TL;DR: The accession ICC 4958, which was previously characterized as a source for drought avoidance in chickpea was confirmed as one with the most prolific and deep root system, although many superior accessions were also identified.

Prediction of Total Genetic Value Using Genome-Wide Dense Marker Maps
TL;DR: It was concluded that selection on genetic values predicted from markers could substantially increase the rate of genetic gain in animals and plants, especially if combined with reproductive techniques to shorten the generation interval.

TL;DR: If successfully employed, advanced backcross QTL analysis can open the door to exploiting unadapted and exotic germplasm for the quantitative trait improvement of a number of crop plants.

TL;DR: The results suggested that, for a trait with low heritability (soluble solids), the phenotype of F3 progeny could be predicted more accurately from the genotype of the F2 parent at QTLs than from the phenotypic variation of theF2 individual.

Identification of genetic factors contributing to heterosis in a hybrid from two elite maize inbred lines using molecular markers.
TL;DR: Whenever a QTL for grain yield was detected, the heterozygote had a higher phenotype than the respective homozygote suggesting not only overdominance (or pseudooverdominance) but also that these detected QTLs play a significant role in heterosis.

TL;DR: A simple Monte Carlo algorithm is developed to implement Bayesian QTL analysis using data from a mouse backcross population that is segregating multiple interacting QTL associated with salt-induced hypertension.
