Résumé :	Description The development of DNA markers has been magnificent and inspiring. DNA markers have proven to be effective tools for a variety of investigations, from phylogenetic analysis to the positional cloning of traits. The development of high-thickness subatomic maps, which has been aided by PCR-based markers, has made it possible to map and identify just about any trait imaginable. The development of DNA markers has made a variety of DNA markers and atomic rearing techniques available to plant breeders and geneticists, enabling them to overcome many of the problems encountered during conventional breeding. The use of DNA marker technology in the hereditary analysis and development of plants is extensively discussed in this book. This book discusses the use of novel DNA markers for hereditary improvement of plants. Its information will be extremely helpful to teachers, students, and researchers in several sectors of the life sciences. Even though this book has its drawbacks, it is still a great resource that should be suggested for any graduate-level crop physiology education. I'm also confident that even seasoned crop physiologists would benefit from reading it.
