Abstract
The breeder's tool-box contains molecular biological techniques to improve resistance breeding. In this chapter, the development of genetic maps is discussed in self-fertilisers and cross-fertilisers with some potential applications like indirect 'marker dependent' selection for qualitative and quantitative resistance traits and their limitations. The bulked segregant analysis has been mentioned for the simplified detection of linkage between resistances and RFLP markers. The possibilities and limitations of map-based cloning and cloning by insertion mutagenesis with TDNA and transposons are described. The role of Arabidopsis thaliana for the development of these rather complicated cloning strategies is shown. The potential use of cloned endogenous resistance genes in breeding is briefly discussed.
