“…DNA marker systems such as RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism), RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) and AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) were used in sugar beet in early and mid-90s (Jung et al, 1993;Barzen et al, 1995;Schondelmaier et al, 1996). Linkage maps and QTL mapping based on RAPD, AFLP, SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) and microsatellites / SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers were also attempted (Möhring et al, 2005;Grimmer et al, 2007;Rae et al, 2000;Schneider et al, 2007). CAPS marker (Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences) associated with root-knot nematode resistance in sugar beet (Weiland and Yu, 2003), mitochondrial DNA and SSR polymorphism for genetic diversity (Virad et al, 2002), comparison of marker systems viz.…”
