Abstract:
There are many molecular markers that are used to analyse or evaluate particular characters in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum sp.). As, Wheat is considered as one of the major cereals that is used as the staple food across the world, many researches have been made to develop many markers such as SSR, RAPD etc. As a recent Pangenome-based assembly, the wheat genome has 140,500 ± 102 genes, with a total of 81,070 ± 1,631 genes. SSR markers indicate a higher degree of polymorphism than other genetic markers. Their additional advantages are their automatic power and their inheritance in a dominant way compared to other types of cell markers. RAPD markers can be used to analyse genetic diversity and determine genetic relationships among cultivars, which is an important aspect of germplasm research.
