MOLECULAR MARKERS IN TOMATO BREEDING
Sunčica Guberac | Sonja Petrović | Vlado Guberac | Sonja Marić
Although most of the existing tomato cuitivars have been developed by conventional breeding, numerous problems that occur during the breeding process have led to the development and application of new technologies in plant breeding. Certainly one of the most important is molecular markers technology, which might have an important role in increasing the efficiency of breeding process. Because of its simple genetic structure, tomato is one of the most studied species of the family Solanaceae, and one of the first culture for which molecular markers and maps have been developed. Tomato has one of the most detailed genetic maps and it is almost impossible to determine the exact number of genes/QTLs that have been mapped on tomato chromosomes. Certainly the most widespread application of molecular markers in tomato breeding is the genetic control of pathogens.
