Molecular Mapping and Breeding in Sesame

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Sesame Genome

Part of the book series: Compendium of Plant Genomes ((CPG))

Abstract

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has reinforced the development of the molecular genetic research in sesame in the recent two decades. In the early stage, most sesame scientists endeavored to develop more specific DNA markers with high polymorphism and to construct the molecular genetic maps for sesame with the aid of the limited expressed sequence tag (EST) and transcriptome information. In the recent decade, a lot of sesame genome information stimulated rapid progresses in the molecular genetics analysis of important agronomic traits in sesame. In this chapter, we overview the main achievements of the high-resolution molecular genetic map construction, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping related to the key traits, map location of molecular markers, and identification of the key functional genes in sesame. Especially, several successful examples for gene location and detection of molecular markers associated with yield, seed quality, disease resistance, and other key agronomic traits in sesame are enumerated. The prospects and strategies for establishing the molecular breeding techniques in sesame are also discussed.
