Description The progress made in DNA marker technology has been remarkable and exciting in recent years. DNA
markers have proved valuable tools in various analyses in plant breeding, for example, early generation
selection, enrichment of complex F 1 s, choice of donor parent in backcrossing, recovery of recurrent parent
genotype in backcrossing, linkage block analysis and selection. Other main areas of applications of
molecular markers in plant breeding include germplasm characterization/fingerprinting, determining
seed purity, systematic sampling of germplasm, and phylogenetic analysis. Molecular markers, thus, have
proved powerful tools in replacing the bioassays and there are now many examples available to show the
efficacy of such markers. We have illustrated some basic concepts and methodology of applying molecular
markers for enhancing the selection efficiency in plant breeding. Some successful examples of product
developments of molecular breeding have also been presented.
