What is the potential <strong>for</strong> molecular<br />
<strong>marker</strong> technology?<br />
• Enables novel <strong>breeding</strong> strategies<br />
o Novel genes <strong>and</strong> alleles with beneficial effects can be<br />
identified <strong>and</strong> quickly introduced into varieties<br />
o QTL pyramiding to combine essential traits<br />
o Genomic selection to increase rate of genetic gain<br />
• Increases speed <strong>and</strong> efficiency<br />
o Reduces time to remove negative linkage drag after<br />
transferring genes from unimproved sources<br />
o It can accelerate the <strong>breeding</strong> process: precise<br />
selection, improved screening, fewer generations
