Abstract

Evidence is accumulating demonstrating the ubiquity and abundance of a new class of genetic markers, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). These markers should allow the genetic map of agricultural species to be saturated in the near future. This holds great promise for useful applications, including: protection of breeder's rights, and more effective means for the characterization and manipulation of individual genetic loci affecting traits of economic importance.
