Application of Genetic Markers in Rosaceous Crops

  • Chapter
Genetics and Genomics of Rosaceae

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 6))

Genetic markers can assist plant breeders to improve their breeding outcomes in several ways, from assessing genetic diversity of the germplasm used in breeding to marker assisted selection (MAS) to variety protection (Charcosset and Moreau, 2004). Major investments in genomic research over the last 15 years have made a wealth of markers available to breeders for MAS, sometimes called marker assisted breeding (MAB), for traits of interest in the different rosaceous crops.
