The use of molecular genetics in the improvement of agricultural populations.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Dekkers Jack C M, Hospital Frédéric

Abstract excerpt

Substantial advances have been made in the genetic improvement of agriculturally important animal and plant populations through artificial selection on quantitative traits. Most of this selection has been on the basis of observable phenotype, without knowledge of the genetic architecture of the selected characteristics. However, continuing molecular genetic analysis of traits in animal and plant populations is...
