Abstract excerpt
The use of molecular markers for the introgression of one or several superior QTL alleles into a recipient line is investigated using analytic and simulation results. The positions of the markers devoted to the control of the genotype at the QTLs in a "foreground selection" step are optimized given the confidence interval of the QTL position. Results demonstrate that using at least three markers per QTL allows a...
