MAS Poster

Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) is a biotechnological strategy that allows for the indirect selection of traits in plant breeding based on linked markers rather than the traits themselves. It has applications in various areas such as backcrossing, gene pyramiding, and early generation selection, and has achieved notable successes in crops like rice and pulses. However, MAS faces limitations including high costs, a limited number of target traits, and challenges in detecting DNA markers.

INTRODUCTION : APPLICATIONS:
An indirect selection process where a trait of • Marker Assisted Backcrossing.
interest is selected based on a marker • Gene Pyramiding.
(morphological, biochemical or DNA/RNA variation ) • Marker Based Recurrent
linked to a trait of interest (eg. Productivity, disease Selection.

rather than on the trait itself. Breeding Material.
• Early Generation Marker
Assisted Selection.
ACHIEVEMENTS:
• Rice-Bacterial Blight-Xa21-RFLP
• Rice-Blast-Pi9,Pi2-PCR based
primer
• Pulses-Ascochyta Blight
Resistance-QTLAR3-SSR
• Pulses-Powdery mildew

LIMITATIONS:
• Limited number of target traits.
• MAS is a costly method and
requires well trained manpower
• The detection of various linked
DNA markers is a difficult.
• Serious health hazards.
• The use of MAS is more difficult
for QTL
CONCLUSION:
WHY WE NEED OF MAS? MAS used to accelerate recurrent
