Abstract

Molecular bases of quantitative trait variation in plant, animal and human populations are currently extensively studied. The aim of those studies is, among others, development of functional markers (FM). Development of FM requires allele sequences of functionally characterized genes, identification of polymorphic, functional motifs within genes and confirmation of association between DNA sequence polymorphism and variation of quantitative traits. In the paper examples of candidate genes for FM development are presented: semidwarf genes Dwarf8 in maize and denso in barley, and genes Glu1 encoding high molecular weight subunits of glutenin in wheat. The advantage of functional markers over markers linked to quantitative trait loci is discussed.
