This paper was presented as part of the symposium entitled “Post‐Green Revolution Trends
in Crop Yield Potential: Increasing, Stagnant or Greater Resistance to Stress.” In this …

In the mid‐1980s, the development of abundant molecular markers, appropriate statistical
procedures, and user‐friendly computer software that implemented these statistical …

New alleles are constantly accumulated during intentional crop selection. The molecular
understanding of these alleles has stimulated new genomic approaches to mapping …

Maize (Zea mays subsp mays) was domesticated from teosinte (Z. mays subsp parviglumis)
through a single domestication event in southern Mexico between 6000 and 9000 years …

This book provides an overview of the rapidly developing integration and interdependence
of quantitative genetics, genomics, bioinformatics and their application to plant breeding …

Recognizing the enormous potential of DNA markers in plant breeding, many agricultural
research centers and plant breeding institutes have adopted the capacity for marker …

Molecular marker assisted selection (MAS) has been touted as a means to improve the
efficiency and speed of plant selection programs. The most widespread use of MAS to date …

Most of the plant breeding programs aim to increase yield, disease and insect resistance,
abiotic stress tolerance and to improve quality characteristics. The value of new plant …

The volume of publications on the development and to a lesser extent the application of
molecular markers in plant breeding has increased dramatically during the last decade …

The advent of high throughput molecular technologies has led to an expectation that
breeding programs will use marker–trait associations to conduct marker‐assisted selection …
