AB  - Using the latest achievements in fields of
genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology, breeders
can create new varieties with improved useful traits.
Introduction of DNA markers, especially those based on
the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has led to
breakthrough in the plants genetic research, molecular
markers are tags that can be used to identify specific
genes and locate them in relation to other genes. Now
days, molecular markers are the markers of attention for
advanced research. These can be classified into two
categories including Hybridizations based techniques and
PCR-based techniques. Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorphism (RFLP) represents the hybridization based
marker while PCR dependent includes more reliable and
advanced polymorphic markers like Amplified Fragment
Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Random Amplified
Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter-Simple Sequence
Repeats (ISSR), Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP)
techniques have been developed.
