“…The SSR markers identified had both female and male specific bands and are useful in genetic purity testing. The use of SSR markers for genetic purity testing has already been demonstrated in maize (Daniel et al, 2012;Mrutu, 2015;Simon and Lovasz, 2016;Wu et al, 2010); rice (Bora et al, 2016;Galal et al, 2014;Moorthy et al, 2011;Sudharani et al, 2013), pearl millet (Nagawade et al, 2016), eggplant (Reddy et al, 2015), soybean (Zhang et al, 2014), cauliflower (Zhao et al, 2012) and in sunflower (Pallavi et al, 2011).…”
