Marker-assisted breeding (MAB) is revolutionizing the cultivation of horticultural crops by enabling more accurate genetic selection desired traits. Unlike traditional methods, which depend heavily on selecting traits based visible characteristics, a process often hindered complex inheritance patterns and environmental influences, MAB uses molecular markers tied to specific genes. This allows breeders efficiently identify choose plants with features. has significantly accelerated for like disease resistance, higher yields, enhanced nutritional visual qualities. It also reduces time needed cycles; while methods may require multiple generations achieve traits, can confirm presence beneficial genes early, speeding up development improved varieties. particularly crucial in addressing challenges climate change, where must quickly adapt stressors such as drought, salinity, temperature fluctuations. In essence, represents major advancement crop development, increasing precision efficiency efforts. plays vital role creating suited market needs, helping tackle global issues food security, change resilience, sustainable farming. positions horticulture better meet evolving consumer expectations agricultural demands.
