Abstract
Locating and identifying genes responsible for resistance are crucial for breeding insect-resistant varieties. The molecular marker-assisted selection of plants based on plant genetics is desirable in crop improvement breeding programmes. Quantitative trait loci, marker analysis, phenotyping, and development of SCAR markers is dealt with in this chapter. The example of rice yellow stem borer is illustrated.
