title: Strategies for the future.
abstract: The current advances in molecular genetics and gene transfer are introduced together with the existing international research programs on these technologies. The opportunities for exploitation are discussed and how they could be incorporated into current breeding programs. Finally, issues of public concern and acceptability are raised and put into the context of existing breeding schemes and regulations.
