In this article we will discuss about the applications of AFLP markers in plants. Also learn about its demerits. AFLP is primarily used in genetic mapping. Several economically important cereal crops such as rice, barley and wheat have been mapped by AFLP. The AFLP markers, which are produced by different combinations of restriction enzymes, are distributed throughout the genome. Evidence [...]
In this article we will discuss about the applications of RAPD marker in plants. Also learn about its demerits. 1. RAPD is used to distinguish between variety is based on difference in DNA sequence. RAPD have been used to identify nearly 15 commercial sunflower varieties. The new bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris) which are difficult to distinguish based on morÂphological trait [...]
The following points highlight the four main applications of RFLP marker in plants. The applications are: 1. Linkage Construction 2. Disease Management 3. Analysis of Somaclonal Variation 4. Prediction of Genetic Distance. Application # 1. Linkage Construction: Restriction fragment length polymorphism facilitated in the construction of linkage maps of any genotypes and genes linked to certain specific agronom characters have [...]
