SNP marker panel for profiling pea lines and its effectiveness in breeding for high seed protein concentration
Lead Investigator(s)
Dr. Tom Warkentin
Lead Investigator(s) Institution
University of Saskatchewan - CDC
Objective
To identify trait linked SNP markers for multiple phenotypes; to validate identified trait linked markers; to fine map QTL's for identification of markers closely linked to traits; to convert key SNP markers to Taqman assays for routine screening of breeding lines; to breed for high seed protein concentration.
