This bulletin reviews basic qualities of molecular markers, their characteristics, the advantages and disadvantages of their applications, and analytical techniques, and provides some examples of their use. It covers various aspects of (1) Genebank management (Acquisition of collection material, Taxonomic issues, Characterization of germplasm, Maintenance of the genetic integrity of accessions, Utilization of genetic resources, and Streamlining procedures and goals among cooperating genebanks); (2) Crop Breeding (Parental contributions of artificial hybrids, Geneflow between crops and weeds, Autotetraploid vs. allotetraploid inheritance,and Molecular diversity and heterosis); and (3) Current developments (Developments in marker techniques, Functional diversity markers, Developments in detection techniques, and Developments in functional genomics). It also outlines future developments
