This DB has allowed us to keep track the requirements of each of the three sub-programs to make sure that marker laboratory spends its resources equally. To define the needs of three sub-programs and for the timely delivery of the outputs by the molecular lab, we have developed a simple excel based database. It is the responsibility of the CEA or AST to read. The CEA or AST must certify on the entry form that the animal and the owner are eligible under the rules of the show. The program currently is using marker-assisted selection for 40 traits/genes, for which more than one marker are used for the quantitative traits. Entries in Texas’ Elite Showcase must be made by the County Extension Agent (CEA) and/or Ag Science Teacher (AST) under whose supervision the animals were fed and cared for. quality, disease) for their effective use in MAS.īased on the traits that are required by the breeding program we have established a trait based map that serve as a guide to breeders in their daily activities including crossing decisions. As the new markers were identified from our work and/or literature these were then integrated into marker cassettes formed for different group of traits (i.e. After 5 years packing orders and Graduating College in 2021, Cam has become the Logistics Department Supervisor, and is running the show behind the scenes.
Molecular marker development is fully integrated with the breeding operations, and activities are focused on the traits that breeders prioritise in the program. Cameron had been an animal enthusiast throughout his educational career, and he put his knowledge & passion to work when he joined the team back in 2015. To effectively utilise molecular markers, breeders require timely delivered accurate and reliable information, and lots of them! This presentation aims to outline (1) Development of molecular markers for the breeders’ traits and an informative gene map for breeders that includes traits of immediate interest, and (2) discussions about the high-throughput and logistics of MAS applications in a large breeding program. The deployment of multiple genes for disease, quality and agronomic traits into breeding lines is the major aim of a breeding program. Molecular markers are being increasingly used as a selection tool in wheat breeding programs around the world.
