Marker Assisted Selection
Crop Improvement Strategies
Molecular breeding uses molecular marker data to
enhance breeding activities, improve selection
efficiency, and optimize breeding program planning
and execution.

QTL ?
A gene/set of genes or genomic regions
associated with the expression of a
quantitative trait ; referred to as
Quantitative Trait Locus(QTL).
Different type of QTLs:-
 Main effect QTLs
 Small effect QTLs
 E-QTLs
 e-QTLs
 m-QTL
 p-QTLs etc.

• Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis: a statistical method links two types of
information—phenotypic data (trait measurements) and genotypic data (usually
molecular markers)—in an attempt to explain the genetic basis of variation in
complex traits (Falconer & Mackay, 1996; Kearsey, 1998; Lynch & Walsh, 1998).
Approaches for QTL Analysis:
1. Single Marker Analysis
2. Interval Mapping(IM):-
 Simple Interval Mapping (SIM)
 Composite Interval Mapping (CIM)-Including Inclusive IM
 Multiple Interval Mapping (MIM) etc.
QTLs Analysis & Its Approaches
Single Marker Analysis (SMA)
 Detect associations between molecular markers and
traits of interest
Four Methods:-
1. ‘t’ Test
2. Regression Analysis
3. ANOVA
4. Maximum Likelihood Approach

ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF SMA
Advantages
• Simplest method of QTL detection.
• Use basic statistical software.
• Not need linkage map.
Disadvantages/Limitations
 Confounded QTL effects & position, no determine
 Statistical Power is low
 Epistasis interaction can not be determine
 So, many false positive

Simple Interval Mapping (SIM)
Composite Interval Mapping (CIM)
 Use most significant markers as Cofactors
 CIM: Refinement of SIM
 CIM: Combining interval mapping with multiple
regression approach
 Power of QTL detection is increased, reduction of
bias in the estimation of QTL position and effects.
Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping (ICIM)
Basic_QTL_Marker-assisted_Selection_Sourabh.ppt
Introduction to MAS
Marker assisted selection or marker aided
selection (MAS) is an indirect selection
process where a trait of interest is
selected based on a marker
(morphological, biochemical or DNA
based) linked to a trait of interest (e.g.
productivity, biotic/abiotic stress or
quality), rather than on the trait itself.
This term first used by Beckmann and
Soller (1983).
What is molecular marker ?
• Ideally markers should be <5 cM from a gene or QTL
Note: Using a pair of flanking markers can greatly improve
reliability but increases time and cost
Marker A
QTL
5 cM
RELIABILITY FOR
SELECTION
Using marker A only:
~95%
Marker A
QTL
Marker B
5 cM 5 cM
Using markers A and B:
~99.5%
Markers must be
tightly-linked to target loci!
Markers must be polymorphic

 Nutrients deficiency
Major constraints: Biotic and abiotic Stresses
General Steps in MAS-
1.Selection of parents.
2.Development of Breeding Population.
3.Isolation of DNA.
4.Scoring of marker.
5.Correlation with Morphological traits.

Discovered first high lysine mutant (1935) - o2
Reported second mutant for change in amino acid composition
(1935) - fl2
Discovery of QPM
 Opaque2 – a gene for improving quality of protein in maize
 A natural spontaneous maize mutant with soft and opaque grain
was found in a maize fields in USA during the 1920s which was
later named as opaque2 (o2) maize by Singleton.
o2 utilization in breeding programmes
Resulted
Soft endosperm
Damaged kernels
Susceptibility to
pests and fungal
diseases
Inferior food processing
Reduced yields
Early efforts and experiences in using o2 cultivars
pleiotropic effects of this gene
Application of MAS
1.It is useful in gene pyramiding for disease and insect
resistance.
2.Uses in backcrossing programme.
3.It is being used for transfer of male sterility into
cultivated genotypes from different sources.
4.MAS is being used for improvement of quality
characters in different crops such as for protein
quality in maize, etc…
Advantage of MAS
1. Accuracy,
2. Rapid Method,
3. Non-transgenic Product,
4. Identification of Recessive Alleles,
5. Early Detection of Traits,
6. Screening of Difficult Traits,
7. Highly Reproducible,
8. Small Sample for Testing, etc…
Achievements of MAS
1.Rice-a. (PB1 x JRBB55) Improved Pusa
Basmati 1, b. Improved Sambha
Mahsuri(BPT5204),
2.Maize - Improved QPM-9,
3.Pearlmillet - HHB67-2,
4.Wheat - Patwin, etc

Current status of molecular breeding
• A literature review
indicates thousands of
QTL mapping/GWAS
studies but not many
actual reports of the
application of MAS in
breeding
• Why is this the case?
Some possible reasons to explain the low
impact of MAS in crop improvement
• Resources (equipment) not available
• Markers may not be cost-effective
• Accuracy of QTL mapping studies
• QTL effects may depend on genetic
background or be influenced by
environmental conditions
• Lack of marker polymorphism in breeding
material
• Poor integration of molecular genetics and
conventional breeding
