Abstract excerpt
Recent plant breeding studies of several species have demonstrated the utility of combining molecular assessments of genetic distance into trait-linked SNP genotyping during the development of parent lines to maximize yield gains due to heterosis. SSRs (Short Sequence Repeats) are the molecular marker of choice to determine genetic diversity, but the methods historically used to sequence them have been...
