Molecular Markers

New possibilities for establishing characteristics at the level of genetic information as well as new technologies are taken up and incorporated for practical application. Ongoing research projects are dedicated to classifying the characteristics of certain DNA sequences. These have to take with molecular markers. Molecular markers are used as a diagnostic tool to characterize plants with a "genetic fingerprint". The genetics of the plants is not modified.
These markers are used to identify desired characters after crossing or backcrossing (Marker supported / based selection)
