Radioactively Labeled DNA Probes for Crop Improvement

Co-ordinated Research Programme of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture

Recent advances in DNA-based technologies increase the likelihood for molecular genetic techniques to positively affect plant breeding in developing countries, as well as in the well-equipped genetic engineering laboratories in developed countries. The use of linked DNA markers makes possible for the first time the large scale application of indirect selection for important agronomic traits. This project helps ensure multinational co-operation for transferring modern biotechnology to developing coutries with the active participation of leading laboratories.
