Abstract
Pyramiding multiple genes with potential characteristics into a single genotype through marker-assisted selection (MAS) can improve the efficiency of generating new crop varieties exhibiting disease resistance, as well as other desirable traits. Although markers can be used at any stage during a typical plant breeding programme, MAS is a great advantage in early generations because plants with undesirable gene combinations can be eliminated. Conventional breeding has got tremendous success towards feeding the world. But future demands, continuous development of new crop varieties to suitable to fight diverse problems in less time future. To address this problem MAS can be supplementary to conventional breeding programme.
