The use of molecular markers is gradually expanding from the field of scientific genetic analysis towards the implementation and application in breeding programs. Applications of DNA markers in breeding are based on the knowledge of the relation between genotypic and phenotypic variation. This overview of the field of molecular breeding describes current and future methods for establishing these relations through the combined use of modern DNA technologies and the laws of inheritance. The modern molecular breeder has the opportunity to control an increasing amount of traits in the breeding process through efficient application of DNA markers. Traits with different level of complexity require different approaches for discovery and molecular control. These approaches include control of genotypes and traits, at the level of linked markers, haplotypes, genes and gene alleles. In order to fully exploit the potential of molecular breeding as well as the potential of available germplasm resources, the selection methods in breeding will have to be adapted, towards the integrated use of genetic knowledge based on DNA markers.
