“…Molecular markers have been widely used for the identification, taxonomy, evolution, as well as genetic diversity of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), such as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) (25), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) (26), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) assays (27), simple sequence repeats (SSR) (28), inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) (29,30), and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (31). Several reports on genetic diversity of V. virens have been published in recent years.…”
