Abstract

Molecular markers technology has significant impact in identification; isolation of genes or genomic
regions associated with any discrete trait and manipulated genomic regions through marker
associated selection. Selection of elite material through marker-assisted selection (MAS) provides an
efficient complementary breeding tool. Genotypes selected on the basis of desired traits can be
differentiated through molecular markers. Molecular markers allow cultivars identification in early
stages of plant development as being neutral to environmental effects. A large number of molecular
markers associated with different traits have been identified in various plants. This paper will focus a
brief overview on molecular markers their useful in plant breeding particularly for wheat
