Forthcoming Perspectives in MAS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Genetic Map** and Marker Assisted Selection

Abstract

MAS can be simply defined as selection for a trait based on the genotype of an associated marker rather than the trait itself. In essence, the associated marker is used as an indirect selection criterion. The potential of MAS as a tool for crop improvement has been extensively explored in different plant species. This chapter elaborates what would be the future of molecular breeding strategies in several crops.
