Abstract:Garden asparagus is one of the most important crops worldwide. Since this crop is dioecious and male plants generally have higher yields compared to female plants, several DNA markers for sex identification have been developed for acceleration of asparagus breeding. Among these markers, Asp1-T7sp and MSSTS710 were found to be effective in sex determination for many asparagus cultivars. However, we previously found that these markers were not completely suitable for sex identification in the purple asparagus cu… Show more
