Marker assisted selection (MAS) for participatory plant breeding (PPB) in Rice
This report discusses the findings on the application of marker-evaluated selection (MES) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in a partnership programme involving participatory plant breeding (PPB) in Nepal and India. The project resulted in the development of novel varieties of rice for drought prone areas and increased the capacity of Nepalese and Indian scientists to carry out marker-assisted breeding in rice.
