As one of the important concepts in conventional quantitative genetics and breeding, genetic
gain can be defined as the amount of increase in performance that is achieved annually …

In the last decade the breeding technology referred to as 'genomic selection'(GS) has been
implemented in a variety of species, with particular success in animal breeding. Recent …

Molecular breeding (MB) may be defined in a broad-sense as the use of genetic
manipulation performed at DNA molecular levels to improve characters of interest in plants …

A novel DNA fingerprinting technique called AFLP is described. The AFLP technique is
based on the selective PCR amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of …

Molecular genetic maps are commonly constructed by analyzing the segregation of
restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) among the progeny of a sexual cross …

We intuitively believe that the dramatic drop in the cost of DNA marker information we have
experienced should have immediate benefits in accelerating the delivery of crop varieties …
