Genetic Dissection of Plant Traits
Genetic Dissection of Plant Traits
Genetic dissection refers to the process of breaking down complex plant traits into simpler components to understand their genetic basis. This is often achieved through techniques such as quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). By identifying specific genes and genetic markers linked to traits like yield, disease resistance, and drought tolerance, researchers can breed plants more effectively. The dissection of traits is essential for developing improved crop varieties, as it allows for targeted genetic modifications. This approach is instrumental in precision breeding, enabling the development of plants with optimized characteristics for various environmental conditions and agricultural needs.
