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
