Applications of Molecular Markers in Fruit Crops: A Review

Markers are any trait of an organism that can be identified with confidence and relative ease, followed in a mapping population or they defined as heritable entities associated the economically important under control polygenes. Molecular markers have diverse applications fruit crop improvement, particularly areas genetic diversity varietal identification studies, disease diagnostics, hybrid detection, sex differentiation marker assisted selection. provide new directions to efforts plant breeders gene localization, taxonomy, phylogenetic analysis also play role decrease time required for development excellent cultivars. The most interesting application molecular is marker-assisted selection (MAS). Suitable DNA should polymorphic nature expressed all tissues, organs, at various developmental stages. Compared traditional breeding programs, increase efficiency effectiveness programs.
