Understanding genetic diversity, association studies, evolution analysis, quantitative trait
loci, marker-assisted selection and genome-wide association in tropical crops are important …

Recent advances in genome technology revealed various single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs), the most common form of DNA sequence variation between alleles, in several plant …

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is an abundant form of genetic variation within
individuals of species. DNA polymorphism can arise throughout the whole genome at …

An array of genetic markers viz. morphological, biochemical and DNA based has been used
in various fields including plant genetics and crop improvement. A novel class of DNA …

The use of molecular markers has revolutionized the pace and precision of plant genetic
analysis which in turn facilitated the implementation of molecular breeding of crops. The last …

Molecular markers are widely used in plant genetic research and breeding. Single
Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are currently the marker of choice due to their large …

Different DNA markers have been utilized in the last few decades as important molecular
tools in plants for genetic relation studies among individuals, hybrid and varietal …

Molecular markers are based on naturally occurring polymorphisms in DNA sequences (ie:
base pair deletions, substitutions, additions or patterns). Molecular markers represent one of …

Molecular markers are used to provide the link between genotype and phenotype, for the
production of molecular genetic maps and to assess genetic diversity within and between …

We searched for SNPs in 417 regions distributed throughout the genome of three Oryza
sativa ssp. japonica cultivars, two indica cultivars, and a wild rice (O. rufipogon). We found …
