Accuracy of marker-assisted selection with auxiliary traits.

Journal of biosciences - 1 Sept 2003

Abstract excerpt

Genetic information on molecular markers is increasingly being used in plant and animal improvement programmes particularly as indirect means to improve a metric trait by selection either on an individual basis or on the basis of an index incorporating such information. This paper examines the utility of an index of selection that not only combines phenotypic and molecular information on the trait under...
