potato virus y (pvy) is one of the most important pathogenic agents that reduce the yield and quality of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.). dna-based molecular markers are valuable tools for identifying germplasm in gene banks, assessing kinship ties, and doing marker-assisted selection (mas) for resistance to pests, diseases, and some crop traits of interest. this work presents the results of ass...

linked and/or gene-based molecular markers have been used widely in marker-assisted selection (mas) to differentiate resistant and susceptible genotypes. resistance to meloidogyne spp. in beta vulgaris l. is mediated by a single dominant gene (r6m-1). using allele-specific primers (asps), an snp marker harboring a single nucleotide polymorphism (a/g), linked to the resistance gene was developed...

a genetic marker is a gene or dna sequence with known localization on a chromosome. it can be de-scribed as a variation that can be measured or detected by a suitable method, and can be used subsequently to detect the presence of a specific genotype. such variations occurring at chromosomal or dna level can serve as genetic markers. the progress in development of molecular markers suggests thei...
