Marker-Assisted Backcross (MAB)
Using genetic markers can be highly useful in a breeding backcross program and save multiple backcross generations.
In a marker-assisted backcross we identify heterozygous descendants and eliminate susceptible plants based on their marker test results.
We measure the percent of similarity of descendant H plants to the recurrent parent by utilizing Gene-G fingerprint set (up to 120 markers), and then crossing only the descendant H plant with the original recurrent parent.
