Marker Assisted Selection for Nematode Resistance - Progress

A conventional breeding program was initiated in 2007 for the purpose of developing germplasm with resistance to reniform and root-knot nematodes. Yield and fiber quality parameters are important components of the program as well.  Marker assisted selection (MAS) is a key component of the breeding program.  Presentation will provide a progress report on germplasm developed to date and current status of breeding efforts.
