Can a plant breeder use QTL analysis results immediately to select for improvement of desirable traits in plant populations using marker-assisted selection? Why or why not? Briefly discuss.

Solution

Quantitative trait locus analysis results will give those perticular gene that regulate the perticular phonotype.

So, these results can be used to select for inprovement of desirable traits for the marker assisted selection.

Since those markers can be identified which regulates the perticular phenotypes, they can be changes for the improvement in plant populations.
