Public genomic databases have provided new directions for molecular marker development
and initiated a shift in the types of PCR-based techniques commonly used in plant science …

In recent years, a variety of molecular markers, based on microsatellites or simple sequence
repeats (SSRs) have become the markers of choice, thus necessitating their development …

The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, is the second most consumed vegetable
worldwide and a well‐studied crop species in terms of genetics, genomics, and breeding. It …

The progress made in DNA marker technology has been tremendous and exciting. DNA
markers have provided valuable tools in various analyses ranging from phylogenetic …

Approximately 170 BC2 plants from a cross between an elite processing inbred (recurrent
parent) and the wild species Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium LA1589 (donor parent) were …

An advanced backcross breeding strategy was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
associated with eight agronomic traits in a BC 2 F 2 population derived from an interspecific …

Abstract Advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) analysis is a new strategy for studying the effect
of unadapted alleles on the agronomic performance of elite cultivated lines. In this paper we …

Comparative genetic studies have demonstrated that gene content and orders are highly
conserved, both at the map and megabase level, between different species within the grass …

Molecular markers were used to map and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for
several characters of agronomic and biological importance in an interspecific backcross of …

Wild crop relatives have been playing enormously important roles both in the depiction of
plant genomes and the genetic improvement of their cultivated counterparts. They have …
