58 Molecular Tools for Enhancing Genetic Progress

Poster Session
C01 Crop Breeding & Genetics
Traditional types of papers will be welcome in this session, such as those that identify new molecular markers that have potential utility in crop improvement or new QTLs which dissect trait inheritance. Of special interest will be papers that show the experiential side of molecular breeding and reflect upon experiences of extending genomics to cultivar development.
