Research Abstract |
In order to accelerate breeding for high oleic acid contents in peanut, two selection markers were developed from candidate gene sequences controlling oleic acid contents. In addition, genome wide polymorphic DNA markers (microsatellite and transposon element markers) were developed and mapped on genetic linkage maps of peanut. Those genome wide DNA markers as well as the two candidate gene markers were used for marker assisted selection of the high-oleic peanut breeding program. As a result, we succeed to reduce breeding periods from five to three years.
