Description
The application of marker-assisted selection to improve quantitative traits in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is cumbersome. It requires a priori knowledge on the association of markers and genes. The knowledge on the chromosomal location of major genes for quantitative traits as well as on gene sequences is rapidly growing. However, determination of the genetic constitution of parents prior to their use in breeding still is impractical. More realistic is to collect association data along with the testing activities needed for breeding new varieties. This study uses changes in allele frequency due to selection as a criterion for gene-trait association. Selection-dependent changes are detected with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of candidate genes using DNA-pools of F2 plants differing in nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE). The procedure and its feasibility are outlined for one locus.
