Marker-assisted selection has been widely implemented in crop breeding and can be especially useful in cases where the traits of interest show recessive or polygenic inheritance and/or are difficult or impossible to select directly. Most indirect selection is based on DNA polymorphism linked to the target trait, resulting in error when the polymorphism recombines away from the mutation responsible for the trait...
