  2. 1. Multiplex markers in a plant breeding perspective

    Author : Mats Hansen; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant biochemistry; plant breeding; SNP; RAPD; molecular markers; AFLP; Växtbiokemi;

    Abstract : Plant breeding is largely depending on the repeated selection for desirable traits. This process is both time and labour consuming, making the development of commercial plant varieties a slow and costly activity. READ MORE
