Marker-assisted selection allows offspring to be tested for desirable or undesirable traits through DNA genetic testing. This video explains this method and how it is used in modern agriculture to select plants with specific characteristics and continue to reproduce them. For more information, see Pamela Ronald's account of plant genetics in The Explorer's Guide to Biology (explorebiology.org/summary/genetics/plant-genetics-and-the-future-of-food).
