Preparation of this major publication on marker-assisted selection would not havebeen possible without the committed support of a large number of individualsfrom the time that the idea of this publication was initially raised in early 2004.First and foremost among these are the members of the FAO Working Group onBiotechnology, in particular its former Chairperson, Jim Dargie, and his successor,ShivajiPandey.Threeofthemembers,DevinBartley(FAOAquacultureManagementand Conservation Service), Pierre Sigaud (formerly of FAO Forest ResourcesDevelopment Service) and Nuria Urquia (FAO Seed and Plant Genetic ResourcesService),aswellasPaulBoettcher(JointFAO/IAEADivisionofNuclearTechniquesinFoodandAgriculture)andEricHallerman(VirginiaPolytechnicInstituteandStateUniversity, United States of America) are particularly thanked for commenting onindividualchaptersinthebook.
Thanks are also extended to Adrianna Gabrielli, Michela Paganini and ChrissiRedfernfortheirassistancewitheditorialandlayoutaspectsofthispublication.
Finally, special thanks go to all the authors for dedicating their time and effortstothepreparationofthesechaptersinanexemplaryandtimelyfashionandfortheirmeticulousattentiontodetailintheeditingprocess.

foreword
Since almost the beginning of human civilization, exploiting variation in thecharacteristicsoftheplantandanimalgeneticresourcesthatareusedforproducingfoodandotheragriculturalproductsthroughbreedinghasbeenattheheartofeffortsto increase and diversify agricultural production and productivity, enhance foodsecurityand incomes,andadapt farming tochangingenvironmentalconditionsandsocialneeds.Initially,thiswasachievedsimplybyselectingandreproducingpreferredindividualsorspontaneousvariants,andindeedthispracticeremainsimportanttodayas the basis for producing new generations of cultivated landraces and indigenousbreeds.However,thecrops,trees,livestockandfishthatarefarmedtodayhavearisenlargelyfromtheintroductionofscientificbreedingatthebeginningofthetwentiethcentury, with the inclusion of crosses into breeding schemes prior to artificialselectionandapplicationofMendel’slawsofinheritancetoimprovebothsimpleandquantitativetraitsprovidingthefoundationsformoderngenetics.
Today, thanks to continuing investments made in research and technologydevelopment,theprocessofproducingimprovedvarieties,clones,breedsandstrainsofagriculturallyimportantspecieshasbecomeprogressivelymoreaccurate,reliableandefficient.Nevertheless,oneof thecontinuingtechnicalconstraints tomoreeffectivebreeding is that selecting material with one or a combination of the characteristicsrequiredbyfarmers,foresters,industryandconsumersstillreliesmainlyonphysicaland agronomic attributes (phenotype). Some of these characteristics are influencedby the environment and are therefore not necessarily a good guide to the actualheritablegeneticcomposition(genotype)ofthematerialinquestion.Othersmaynotbevisibleormayonlybedetectedinmatureplantsandanimals.Othersagainmaybedifficultorverycostlytoscreen,andmanycharacterssuchasdroughttoleranceandmilkcompositionarecontrolledbyalargenumberofgeneswhosemodeofactionaswell as their interactionwitheachother andwithvarious environmental triggers ismainlyunknown.Improvingthe identification,selectionandmonitoringofspecificcharactersinplantsandanimalsthroughbreedingschemesisthereforeacriticalneedtosecurefutureimprovementsingeneticresourcesforfoodandagriculture.
SincethefirstdescriptionofDNAstructureover50yearsago,scientistshavemadetremendous strides in identifying genes and gene functions, making it increasinglypossible to detect genetic differences (DNA polymorphisms) for traits amongindividual plants and animals in a much more direct way, thereby assisting in theselection of desired traits. The central technology involved is molecular marker-assistedselection(MAS),usingsequencesand/orbandingpatternsofDNAthathavebeen shown through linkagemapping tobe located inorneargenes that affect thephenotype.Thesemolecularmarkerscanthenbeusedtoassist breederstrackwhether

Althoughtheultimategoalofidentifyingthelocation,functionandmostfavourableallelesofeachgenethroughgenomesequenceandpost-genomicsresearch,andthenusing markers to select for economically important genes in breeding programmes,is still decades away, in recent years the use of MAS in agriculture has movedprogressively from theory to practical application. In the process, it has generatedbothhighexpectations for increasinggeneticprogress throughbreeding, andraisedanumberofunresolvedchallenges.Theseinclude:selectionofthemostappropriatemethods and tools for MAS among the many now available for the task at hand,analysingandmanagingthedataproducedgiventheincreasingtrendtowardshigh-throughputtechniquesandtheconstraintsimposedbysuboptimallevelsofresourcescurrentlyattachedtobreedingandscienceandtechnologyincludingbiotechnology,anddealingwithintellectualpropertyrights,especiallyindevelopingcountries.
Sinceitsfoundation,FAOhasrecognizedthatthebiologicalbasisforsustainableagricultural production, fighting hunger and world food security lies in the geneticresources used for food and agriculture. It has also recognized the enormouscontributions that have been made to the improvement of these resources throughbothtraditionalandmoreadvancedbreeding,aswellastheever-increasingroleplayedby biotechnology in improving breeding processes and products.
