qPCR Genotyping of Polyploid Species

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2638:115-122. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3024-2_8.

Abstract

A simple and cost-effective method for genotyping polyploid plants using quantitative PCR (qPCR) is described in this chapter. There is no additional operation, only simultaneous amplification of alleles and reference sequences with constant copy number in the genome. The qPCR genotyping can detect the genotypes of important traits in polyploid plants without whole genome sequencing data.

Keywords: Allele; Genotyping; Polyploid; Quantitative PCR (qPCR).
