Overview

This review demonstrates the application of marker-assisted selection in tomatoes, papayas, and marigolds, highlighting genomic tools' impact on crop improvement.

Key Points

  • Marker-assisted selection effectively enhances disease resistance and fruit quality in horticultural crops, especially in tomatoes.
  • Tomato's advanced MAS pipelines successfully pyramided genes for disease resistance, showcasing its leading role in plant breeding.
  • Papaya has made strides despite fewer genomic resources by utilizing markers for sex type and disease resistance.
  • Emerging MAS techniques in floricultural crops like marigold are promising, yet significant gaps exist in marker application and validation.
