Research Project
Full description A total of 295 progeny from 32 full-sib families and their 29 parents from the Australian macadamia breeding program were genotyped using 5,329 SNP markers and 19,527 silicoDArT markers. The aims of this projects are: i. Exploring the genetic diversity and confirmation of family structure in the selected progeny ii. Identification of molecular markers associated with economically important traits to utilize in marker assisted selection. iii. Accelerating macadamia breeding using genomic selection of breeding progeny
