“…In this regard, molecular marker techniques are advantageous over the morphological measurements for the assessment of genetic diversity as they directly reflect variations in the DNA sequence which are free from environmental influences and provide complementary information. Among many molecular marker techniques currently available, microsatellites or Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are very useful for DNA fingerprinting, assessing genetic diversity and genetic relationships in plants as they are highly polymorphic [6], co-dominant [8,9], able for multiplex PCR [10], reproducible [11,12], well distribution in genome [13,14] and can be integrated with high throughput instrumentation [15] making them valuable tool for genetics and breeding. Advancement in sequencing technologies, directly made sequencing increasingly available to embark into genomic level.…”
