Genetics of Polyploids

  • Chapter
The Impact of Plant Molecular Genetics

Abstract

Large gains in the knowledge of plant genetics have been made during the last decade due to the development and application of DNA markers. The use of DNA markers has allowed the construction of linkage maps, assessment of genetic variability, and gene tagging in a variety of species (Sobral and Honeycutt, 1994). Densely populated DNA marker linkage maps have enabled map-based gene cloning and marker-assisted selection in some plants. Furthermore, DNA markers have contributed information to the fields of ecology, population genetics, and evolution (see the relevant chapters in Parts I and II).
