Distribution of genetically pure seeds to farmers will facilitate complete heterotic expression of hybrids. Traditionally, morphological traits have been used extensively in purity control of hybrid seed and variety identification. The main disadvantages of these methods are time consuming and space demanding aspects because it requires collection of extensive data at different locations.With the advancement of molecular biology, the DNA markers or molecular markers can be effectively and efficiently employed for identification of the genetic purity of hybrids at genomic level. The utility of different types of molecular markers like RAPD, AFLP, STMS, SSR etc.for...
