Abstract excerpt
We investigate the use of markers to hasten the recovery of the recipient genome during an introgression breeding program. The effects of time and intensity of selection, population size, number and position of selected markers are studied for chromosomes either carrying or not carrying the introgressed gene. We show that marker assisted selection may lead to a gain in time of about two generations, an efficiency...
