Abstract
The development of new crop varieties offers potential benefits, in terms of yield to growers, and in quality improvements to end users. A new variety represents a considerable investment by plant breeders and this can be sustained by commercial returns. A robust system to protect a new variety, and thus the plant breeders’ intellectual property, is part of the infrastructure needed to promote the flow of new varieties. Here we describe current plant variety protection systems and discuss how DNA based markers may be used within those legal and administrative provisions.
