  • Patent number: 11291174
    Abstract: Various methods are provided for determining progeny plant genotypes from a pooled sample. The methods include genotyping marker alleles in two or more progeny plants, each resulting from a different parental cross. The methods utilize in-silico deconvolution implementing Hidden Markov Modeling to determine a probability of each possible genotype for one or more marker loci in at least one progeny plant from the genetic signal generated from the pooled samples. The present methods provide for increased efficiency in genotyping progeny plants.

  • Patent number: 10595479
    Abstract: Presented herein are methods for creating a desired genetic variant at a high efficiency from a seed. In one aspect, a method for creating a desired genetic variant at a high efficiency from a seed is presented. The method involves subjecting isolated pollen to a chemical mutagen to produce a first generation seed, planting the first generation seed in (n) plots to produce first generation plants, recovering mutagenized pollen from the first generation plants, pollinating a female parent with the recovered mutagenized pollen to produce a next generation seed, subjecting pollen from the next generation seed to mutagenesis to pollinate the first generation plant, resulting in a new next generation seed, planting the new next generation seed to produce a new next generation plant, and subjecting pollen from the new next generation plant to mutagenesis to pollinate the new next generation plant.

  • Patent number: 9029629
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of marker-assisted selection for high oleic/low linolenic traits in canola and in other oil seed crop species, as well as isolated nucleic acids for use as molecular markers in such methods. In particular, molecular markers and Brassica nucleic acid corresponding to fad2 and fad3 gene mutations are disclosed. The markers of the present invention are highly useful for the direct selection of desirable fad2 and fad3 alleles during marker-assisted trait introgression and breeding. In one aspect of the embodiment, two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are provided that correspond to the alleles. Thus, the present invention advantageously permits one of skill in the art to breed for the molecular markers described herein, or derivatives thereof, rather than breeding for a high oleic/low linolenic phenotype.
