genetic-markers
Genetic markers are specific DNA sequences or gene variants with known chromosomal locations that researchers use to identify, distinguish, and track traits across individuals and species. In plant science, they are essential tools for mapping genomes, tracing evolutionary relationships, and accelerating breeding programs by linking DNA signatures to desirable traits like disease resistance, yield, or fragrance. This allows scientists to select for complex characteristics at the molecular level rather than waiting for physical traits to emerge across growing seasons.
