| Abstract: | A method is presented for the selection of parents with the aim of obtaining improved genotypes in the progeny of a cross.
The procedure is designed to select in several unrelated traits simultaneously and is based on the selection of molecular
markers that are linked to QTLs. The method was compared with conventional phenotypic selection in simulation experiments
for a number of genetic structures underlying the traits and several types of parental populations. Although the method in
general provides good results, some of the underlying assumptions may be violated quite easily, thereby reducing the applicability
of the procedure in practice.
