Abstract:Background: Assessing genetic diversity in greengram is a prerequisite for its genetic improvement for yield and quality. DNA markers such as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been preferred in this crop for the analysis of genetic diversity because SSR markers are locus-specific, widely dispersed throughout the genome, highly polymorphic due to variation in repeat units, highly informative because of co-dominant nature, high reproducibility and ease of assay by PCR (Polymerase chain reaction). The current s… Show more
