Incorporating molecular markers into applied maize breeding

Two experiments were conducted to study applying molecular marker technologies to maize breeding. Both isozymes and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used as markers, and associations were established between these markers and different quantitative traits. Comparisons were made between marker-trait associations in diallel, testcross, and line per se data sets, and also between marker assisted selection (MAS) and conventional early generation testcross selection.
