Application of High-Throughput Sequencing Technologies in Native Forest Tree Species in Argentina: Implications for Breeding

摘要: High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies became a powerful approach to generate genomic resources in non-model tree species and assist breeding programs. These are being used native forest trees of Argentina this chapter summarizes the state-of-the-art knowledge. A brief description HTS is followed by general applications on for development massive genotyping. Genomic strategies accelerate includes genome-wide association studies selection. were applied Argentina’s transcriptome genome Nothofagus Prosopis alba Cedrela balansae. Ongoing projects include Austrocedrus chilensis, Handroanthus impetiginosus Cordia trichotoma; chilensis alpina N. obliqua under drought stress conditions. Current future genetic implications discussed.
