Marker-Assisted Breeding for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The last few decades are evident of the economical uses of utilizing molecular markers of interested genes in plant breeding programs. The potential benefits of these traced markers of bona fide traits enhanced the feasibility of this marker-assisted selection (MAS). In traditional breeding programs, selection is carried out on morphological basis without knowledge of genetics. Regarding the recent yield issues, ecological problems, and enhancing populations, characters related to environmental stress tolerance, disease resistant, mineral and osmotic requirement, etc. should be the public attention. The molecular-assisted selection technology suggests a rapid progress in choosing stress-acclimated crop plants with expanding accuracy of selection. Molecular-aided selection is promising pyramid target traits in a single progeny more conveniently and precisely in few selected generations and little accidental harms. As it is a cost-effective and less time-consuming strategy, it can be suggested for long-term improvement in stress tolerance of economically important crops with some limitations.
