DNA Marker-Assisted Backcrossing (MAB)
MAB is applied routinely to breeding programs to hasten gene
introgression and the recovery of the recipient genome in
backcrossing experiments. MAB not only minimizes the linkage
drag around the desired gene, but also maximizes the chances
of finding the best individuals in a population as parentals
for the next generation of a genetic improvement program.

Using simple sequence repeats (SSR) and other efficient and
polymorphic-based molecular markers enables the speedy recovery
of a recurrent parent in a backcross-breeding program. This
timesaving method shaves years from your product development
cycle. Specific molecular marker techniques are available upon
request.
