Abstract

The use of molecular markers has been shown to be a powerful approach for the genetic dissection andmanipulation of many traits of importance in agriculture. However, their full impact, especially in breeding, is yet to be realized. This is due to a number of limitations such as the time and resources required to discover a large number of polymorphic markers for a species, requirements for sequence information for marker development, and the cost and time for scoring the markers (average per datapoint cost of overUS$1.00). With the advent of Restriction Fragment...
