“…Additionally, the traditional method of hybrid identification based on morphological traits can be influenced by environmental factors and thus lacks the resolution to identify hybrids at an early stage. Advances in DNA fingerprinting techniques have provided diagnostic molecular markers for facilitating the identification of hybrids, including RAPD (Oliveira et al, 2003;Dhillon et al, 2009;Bharathi et al, 2011), ISSR (Bianco et al, 2011), AFLP (Divakaran et al, 2006), and SSR (Saxena et al, 2010;Fu et al, 2011). Recently, many studies have confirmed the high infor-mativeness and reproducibility of SRAP markers for identifying and authenticating hybrids in different crops (Liu et al, 2007;Hao et al, 2008;Mishra et al, 2011).…”
