"Plant Breeding from Laboratories to Fields" ed. by Sven Bode Andersen

This book illustrates this development in quantitative genetic tools.

During the last 50 years plant breeding has entered a molecular era based on molecular tools to analyse DNA, RNA and proteins and associate such molecular results with plant phenotype. These marker trait associations develop fast to enable more efficient breeding.
