Traditionally, the prediction of hybrid performance made on the basis of the morphological traits requires large number of crosses to be made, which have several associated problems. This is where molecular markers will be handy in determining genetic diversity and this will help in predicting hybrid performance. An essential assumption underlying the use of DNA markers for predicting hybrid performance is that a strong linear correlation exists between heterozygosity and heterosis (Singh et al., 2006). Hence, the investigation of correlation existed between "Molecular marker polymorphism and...
