Samba Mahsuri is an elite, fine grain rice variety, which is grown extensively in India. To finger print and identify a genotype specific marker from 26 other closely related fine grain types, we utilized a 113 SSR markers distributed throughout the rice genome. Twenty six markers found to be polymorphic among the rice varieties analyzed. A twin marker combination RM 19426 +JGT could unambiguously differentiate samba Mahsuri from other fine grain varieties through multiplex PCR. | Identification of genotype specific marker for samba Mahsuri BPT 5204 variety
