Description The last —30 years have witnessed a continuous evolution of new
molecular marker systems from restriction fragment length polymorphisms,
random amplified polymorphic DNAs, and amplified fragment
length polymorphisms to present-day popular marker systems such
as simple sequence repeats (SSRs), single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs), and diversity array technologies. Advent of low-cost and highthroughput
sequencing technologies, commonly called next-generation
sequencing (NGS) technologies have increased the speed of SSR and
SNP discovery. NGS technologies in combination with restriction enzymes
are now ready for detecting genome-wide polymorphism and
new marker systems like RAD-tag sequencing, genotyping by sequencing
are becoming popular. It seems that NGS-based marker systems will
be dominating marker systems in future. These new emerging marker
systems are expected to facilitate enhanced adoption of modern genetics
and breeding approaches like genome-wide association studies and
genome-wide selection that generally require markers at high-density in
crop plants.
