Moleuclar Markers At A Glance: Since domestication man had been using morphological markers for selection. Characters like non shattering differentiates wild and domesticated. Yield was considered prime for selection. Morphological characters like awn when found correlated to yield aided much in selection. The examples are too many to quote here. With the introduction of pure line selection genetic diversity was lost. That was evident with emergence of pest and diseases. This paved way for preservation of diversity. Molecular marker helps in both maintaining diversity and in selection of plants. These two forms the backbone of any breeding programme. Hence molecular markers had got an inevitable role in plant breeding.
Dr. K. Anandhi
Dr. K. Anandhi is now working as Assistant Professor (PBG) in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University had obtained JNMF scholarship for PhD work on virus resistance breeding using interspecific cross between Capsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens against Chilli leaf curl virus. One of my research projects, focused on utilization of SSR markers for development of salt tolerant rice using somoclonal variation and mutation breeding. I have guided student in soybean research. During my career, I had focused on development of drought tolerant homozygous lines in rainfed greengram and sorghum by crossing the high yielding varieties with drought tolerant cultivars and studied divergence in cluster bean genotypes. The results of the research work have been published as articles (30 Nos.) in peer-reviewed journals.
