Development and Implementation of Molecular Markers for Forage Crop Improvement

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant Breeding ((DIPB,volume 10))

Abstract

A number of plant species are used individually and in combination in pastures for the grazing of livestock. Temperate forages include grasses such as perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and phalaris and legumes such as white clover, red clover and alfalfa. Tropical forages include grasses such as buffelgrass and brachiaria and legumes such as cassia, siratro and stylo. Temperate and warm-season grass species are also important for turf and amenity purposes. In outbreeding forage species such as perennial ryegrass and white clover, natural and synthetic populations are genetically heterogeneous and show a high degree of developmental plasticity. Strategies for molecular marker development, genetic mapping, QTL detection and marker assisted selection must be designed in the context of these constraints. The current status of molecular marker technology with regard to genetic mapping, marker assisted selection, DNA profiling and molecular taxonomy is reviewed. The development of framework genetic maps based on highly informative co-dominant genetic markers (anchor RFLPs and SSRs) is described. Innovative strategies for implementation will be applied to these efficient marker systems in order to enhance forage breeding.
