Abstract: This invention relates to a method for improving the efficacy of a plant breeding program which has as its goal to selectively alter phenotypic traits that are capable of being described numerically and are under the control of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). The method combines the newer techniques of molecular biology with modifications of classical pedigree breeding strategies. Progeny performance is predicted on the basis of at least one secondary trait, facilitating selection strategies. In particular, regression estimates are obtained by determining the relationship between selected inherited marker loci and quantitative phenotypic trait values in predictor populations, and used in combination with inherited marker profiles of plants, to implement a selection strategy in related populations.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the identification of transgenic seeds. This is accomplished by use of screenable markers linked to aleurone-specific promoters. The screenable markers can be provided as gene fusions with selectable markers, allowing both selection and screening of transformants. The use of aleurone-specific promoters, which also direct expression in embryogenic tissues, allows efficient selection of transgenic cells and the screening of viable transgenic seeds, while avoiding the deleterious effects associated with constitutive expression of screenable marker genes. Screening of transgenic seeds avoids the need for growing and assaying of seeds for transgenes and allows implementation of automated seed screening techniques for the identification of transgenic seeds.
