TL;DR: Advances in the identification of Quantitative Trait Loci and genes that influence agronomically important traits and the use of this novel information in socalled marker assisted selection (MAS) are discussed.
Abstract: Recent progress in molecular biology and genetics is creating novel opportunities in animal breeding. We herein discuss advances in the identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) and genes that influence agronomically important traits and the use of this novel information in socalled marker assisted selection (MAS). We also describe advances in methods for the generation of transgenic livestock and reflect on the potential applications of this technology in animal production.

TL;DR: The successful execution of plant breeding depends on: availability of genetically variable populations, effective selection in such populations, and efficient testing of breeding lines as mentioned in this paper. And the contribution of biotechnology is to consider examples of its present and future impact on each of these steps in the breeding process.
Abstract: Plant breeding is an integrative discipline that is defined by the product, i. e., a crop cultivar. Principles of breeding provide the framework, while technologies (including biotechnology) provide the tools for implementation. The successful execution of plant breeding depends on: availability of genetically variable populations, effective selection in such populations, and efficient testing of breeding lines. A measure of the contribution of biotechnology is to consider examples of its present and future impact on each of these steps in the breeding process.
