“…As a complex taxon, V. sativa represents a diverse phylogenetic relationship [15,16]. Various type of molecular markers have been previously used to resolve inter-and intra-specific diversity in common vetch by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) [15], sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) [17], amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) [18], simple sequence repeats (SSRs) [19], expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) [20], cDNA-simple sequence repeat (cDNA-SSR) [21,22], start codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT) [23] and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) [24,25]. The recent advancements in plant biotechnology also resulted in avalanche of information in terms of DNA sequences and functional gene determination in various plant species [20,21,23,26].…”
