Abstract

Applications of genome mapping and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in crop improvement are reviewed. The following aspects are considered: a comparison of the choice of markers available for the generation of linkage maps (including amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP); restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP); randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and simple sequence repeats (SSR)); quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis; use of molecular markers in the exploitation of hybrid vigour; physical genome mapping; map-based cloning and transposon tagging of agriculturally important genes; synteny in cereal genomes; and the use of MAS in breeding for disease and pest resistance.
