Empirical Evaluation of Marker -Assisted Selection for Improving Quantitative Traits in Sweet Corn

Abstract

dc:description

Results generated from this study suggest that incorporating DNA markers to traditional breeding programs can expedite selection progress and reduce costs. Also, data suggests that beneficial QTL identified in one population can exert similar effects in other genetic backgrounds.
