Increased and continued use of the diverse genotypes is a prerequisite for developing and diversifying the genetic base of crop cultivars. DNA markers which are crop-stage nonspecific environmental neutral, easily assayable and amenable for automation are being used to assess the diversity of germplasm accessions and/or breeding lines. DNA markers also provide information on the population structure, allelic richness, and parameters that specify diversity among the genotypes to help breeders to choose those most appropriate for use in cultivar development. | Simple sequence repeat SSR marker assay-based genetic diversity among dolichos bean Lablab purpureus L.
