Abstract
The invention and application of molecular markers, especially PCR technique, have provided crucial technical support for the transition from traditional crop breeding to molecular breeding. Accordingly, combined with the bioinformatics, a novel concept, namely “breeding by design,” was proposed in 2003 by a Belgium scientist. The main contents of this concept are based on QTL mapping of a genetic population, QTL effect analysis, and QTL interactive effect on breeding by design.
