Abstract: Marker may be defined as "Mark of identification".Molecular markers have several advantages over the traditional phenotypic and biochemical markers in plant.The main uses of DNA markers in agricultural research such as Cultivar identity/assessment of 'purity'/ Hybrid Testing, Genetic Diversity Analysis, Genetic Linkage Map Construction, Mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), Map based cloning of genes, Mapping of mutations, Marker-assisted selection (MAS), Marker assisted backcross breeding (MAB), Marker-assisted pyramiding, Mapping major genes, Characterization of transformants etc.DNA markers are widely accepted as potentially valuable tools for crop improvement in plant.
