"Diagnostics in Plant Breeding" is systematically organizing
cutting-edge research reviews on the development and application of
molecular tools for the prediction of plant performance. Given its
significance for mankind and the available research resources,
medical sciences are leading the area of molecular diagnostics,
where DNA-based risk assessments for various diseases and
biomarkers to determine their onset become increasingly available.
So far, most research in plant genomics has been directed towards
understanding the molecular basis of biological processes or
phenotypic traits. From a plant breeding perspective, however, the
main interest is in predicting optimal genotypes based on molecular
information for more time- and cost-efficient breeding schemes. It
is anticipated that progress in plant genomics and in particular
sequence technology made recently will shift the focus from
"explanatory" to "predictive" in crop science. This book assembles
chapters on all areas relevant to development and application of
predictive molecular tools in plant breeding by leading authorties
in the respective areas.
