ABSTRACT

This study takes molecular marker technology as the core to explore its application path and effect in the improvement of high-yield and high-quality rice varieties. Through the analysis of the types of molecular markers, the principle of marker-assisted selection (MAS), and the genes of major high-yield and high-quality traits, the key role of molecular markers in the genetic improvement of rice was clarified. Research shows that molecular marker technology can achieve rapid identification and efficient aggregation of target genes, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of breeding. By integrating high-throughput sequencing and gene editing technologies, the improvement of rice varieties is shifting from experience-based to data-driven, achieving the coordinated optimization of high-yield and high-quality traits.
