“…Of late, DNAbased markers have been extensively utilised for clarifying the genetic relationship between the apricot accessions (Romero et al, 2003;Barakat et al, 2012;Yilmaz & Paydas-Kargi, 2012). Lately, AFLP (Krichen et al, 2006;Yuan et al, 2007;Volkova et al, 2020), ISSR (Alhasnawi et al, 2017;Alhasnawi, 2019;Bhadkaria et al, 2020;Xiang et al, 2020), SSR (Maghuly et al, 2005;Chiou et al, 2020;Cmejlova et al, 2020) and SRAP (Uzuni et al, 2010;Xiang et al, 2020). Methodologies have often been utilised in apricots to portray diverse genotypes pertaining to varied ecogeographical groups.…”
