Simultaneous marker-assisted selection for multiple traits in autogamous crops
2001
Berloo, R. van | Stam, P.
A method is presented for the selection of parents with the aim of obtaining improved genotypes in the progeny of a cross. The procedure is designed to select in several unrelated traits simultaneously and is based on the selection of molecular markers that are linked to QTLs. The method was compared with conventional phenotypic selection in simulation experiments for a number of genetic structures underlying the traits and several types of parental populations. Although the method in general provides good results, some of the underlying assumptions may be violated quite easily, thereby reducing the applicability of the procedure in practice.
