Toward the sequence-based breeding in legumes in the post-genome sequencing era
This this article, the authors propose a sequence-based breeding approach which includes use of independent or combination of parental selection, enhancing genetic diversity of breeding programs, forward breeding for early generation selection, and genomic selection using sequencing/genotyping technologies.
