| Abstract/Contents: | "The identification of cultivars is an important aspect of plant prodcution systems and is central to the protection of intellectual property rights through Plant Breeders' Rights (PBR). The description of cultivars has been based on the analysis of a range of morphological and physiological characters that allow a claim for distinctness of a new cultivar to be made against a suite of pre-existing cultivars. The analysis of cultivars at the DNA level provides a potentially extremely powerful method for identifying plant cultivars. In this paper, we discuss the application of a range of DNA marker technologies to three points in the PBR registration process. First, the analysis of the genetic distances between a candidate cultivar and the existing pool of cultivars in order to define a set of comparison cultivars. Secondly, the contribution of DNA marker technology to the generation of a description of the cultivar for PBR registration, and thirdly, the use of DNA markers to investigate and resolve the identity of cultivars in cases where infringement of a PBR is claimed. Molecular markers for wheat illustrate the points. The future integrated use of DNA markers in cultivar identification in agricultural production systems is discussed." |
