“…The successful approach to the removal of gene functions via the expression of antisense mRNAs has also widened in recent times the possibility of altering plant traits of economic relevance ( Van der Krol et al 1988). adapt piants to industrial processes and agriculture to changing patterns of societies and economics (Flavell 1986).…”

1989. Combining conventional plant breeding procedures with molecular based approaches. Genome, 31: 1014 -1026.This presentation covers the professional experience of the authors in the plant breeding research section of the MaxPlanck-Institut f i r Ziichtungforschung, Koln. Results available from current projects are discussed in the framework of breeding strategies aimed at the improvement of plant traits based on few or many genes. The following aspects are considered: use of genes for virus, insect, and herbicide resistance; tolerance to abiotic stresses (resistance to desiccation is studied in several model tissues and plants); identification and isolation of genes governing seed quality in cereals; possibility of tagging relevant genes in potato by the use of the exogenous transposon Ac; use of anther culture in potato breeding by changing the ploidy level from tetraploidy to diploidy and the reverse; marker-assisted selection in potato (a restriction fragment length polymorphism is under development and already molecular probes can be used to identify diploid and tetraploid potato strains).
