POLYMORPHIC INSIGHTS: DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEAT MARKERS FOR STUDYING DNA POLYMORPHISMS IN SORGHUM AND MILLET CULTIVARS
Abstract
Understanding DNA polymorphisms is essential for studying the genetic diversity and population structure of crop plants. This study aimed to develop simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for investigating DNA polymorphisms in sorghum and millet cultivars. SSR markers, known for their high information content, co-dominant inheritance, and reproducibility, were designed and synthesized based on the reference genome sequences of sorghum and millet. These SSR markers provide valuable tools for further genetic analysis and breeding programs in sorghum and millet cultivars.
