Abstract

Unsuitable environmental conditions such as heat, soil salinity, drought, flooding and metal, are abiotic stresses that negatively affect plant growth and development leading to reduction of yield and quality of products. Among abiotic stresses, heat, salinity and drought are common problems and are strongly associated with global climate change. DNA marker technology is nowadays used in the selection process to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of plant breeding in improvement of many agricultural traits including tolerance to environmental stress. In this review, the information about the effect of abiotic stress on plant and researches on DNA markers related to heat, salinity and drought tolerance is presented, including examples of studies to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with tolerance to these stresses and the utilisation of relevant DNA markers for selection of tolerant cultivars in rice, cassava and legume.  Besides, trends of technology used for plant selection and breeding in future are discussed.
