Objective: 
  • To generate the DNA fingerprints of released varieties of horticultural crops, germplasm and hybrids
  • To assess the genetic diversity of horticultural crops germplasm.
  • To generate a database of DNA fingerprints of horticultural crops germplasm
  • To evaluate the extent of genetic diversity in the horticultural crops germplasm and
