Research Progress in the Development of Plant Functional Target Gene Markers
With the development of functional genomics,molecular marker technology is moving towards the direction of functional target marker genes.Functional marker is developed according to the specific region polymorphism motif of functional genes closely related to phenotype.Since these functional markers are directly derived from functional motifs within the gene,these markers do not require further validation to determine whether alleles are available in different genetic backgrounds.Gene-targeted and functional marker,conserved DNA and gene family based markers,transposable element based markers,resistance-gene based markers,RNA-based markers and targeted fingerprinting markers were discussed,which are aimed at providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of molecular markers.
