“…The effectiveness of the acquisition of new genetic variability can be determined by molecular tools, such as microsatellite markers (Šajgalík et al 2019). DNAbased marker systems have many advantages (Sinha et al 2023), over traditional plant phenotypic and biochemical markers. The main applications of DNA markers in agronomic research are cultivar identification, genetic purity assessment (Younis et al 2022), hybrid testing, genetic diversity analysis (Özkan et al, 2022), species genetic map construction, Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping (Asins, 2002), genetic map-based gene cloning, mutation mapping, Marker Assisted Selection (MAS), marker-assisted backcross selection, markerassisted pyramiding, major gene mapping, transformant characterization (Lateef, 2015).…”
