High-throughput genotyping for Marker Assisted Selection.

Marker-assisted breeding uses DNA markers associated with desirable traits to select a plant for inclusion in a breeding program early in its development.This approach dramatically reduces the time required to identify varieties or breeds which express the desired trait in a breeding program. The marker may be the sequence of the gene that determines the trait, but in most cases, it is a DNA sequence which is located very close to the gene of interest and is therefore always inherited with the trait. Desirable traits include characteristics such as disease resistance, improved flavor, and high yield.Pfeiffer Genotyping can help you assist breeding with genetic gains using molecular markers. The total farm production expenses are record high $460 billion, out of which $24.5 billion goes to pesticide use which is also a record high in 2023. Our expertise can help you use marker-assisted breeding techniques to develop new resistant premium crop varieties that provide growers with an alternative to chemicals in the constant battle against these deadly and ever emerging new pathogens.
