Abstract

During the past few decades, the significant progresses have been made with the development of molecular marker for the detection and exploitation of DNA polymorphism in the field of plant biotechnology and their genetic studies. According to the type of study to be conducted, one can choose a specific marker from a variety of different markers, viz. morphological, biochemical and DNA-based molecular markers. The molecular markers are of two types as hybridisation-based or non-PCR-based markers. These DNA markers offer several advantages over traditional phenotypic markers, as they provide data that can be analysed accurately. This chapter provides a detailed account of utilisation of different molecular markers to study the polymorphism if any among the natural populations as well as in regenerants obtained through clonal propagation.
