MAGIC Populations Improved Traits and Provided Different Accomplishments

Plant breeding is a crucial aspect while ensuring food security by applying updated techniques and utilizing available resources to the fullest extent possible. For instance, the development of the Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercrosses (MAGIC) population is a prominent example of this. This population uses a wide range of parents from different regions of the world and produces a population with a broad genetic base and significant phenotypic differentiation. Using quantitative trait loci (QTL), certain traits can be identified that can be used for the development of breeding lines for use in a breeding program for the development of advance varieties. As part of this review, we provided some examples of improved traits and different accomplishments achieved through the use of MAGIC populations.
