Abstract
The adoption of molecular breeding of crops has been made possible by the use of molecular markers, which have changed the speed and accuracy of plant genetic analysis. Due to their frequency in genomes and suitability for high-throughput detection formats and platforms, markers based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have quickly taken centre stage in molecular genetics in recent years. SNPs were discovered, and their use has improved our understanding of agricultural improvement and genetic diversity. SNP markers have accelerated plant breeding's progress in conjunction with genomics and other next-generation technologies.
