Abstract excerpt
Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) based on additive effects associated with alleles at marker loci, estimated by linear regression of individual phenotype on the markers, was applied to characters with non-additive gene action and non-additive environment. The base population was the F2 generation of a cross between two inbred lines. Computer simulations of MAS were conducted for characters with dominance,...
