DNA fingerprinting is a technique to identify-an individual at molecular levelit reveals alleles of an individual inherited from their parents using different molecular markers.
This technique is widely used for paternity testing and in forensic science however, it is also used in the field of agriculturefor assessing genetic diversity and species relationship. In agriculture using genetics makes () it is now widely used in new research and breeding programmes to improve production and quality standards. This powerful fingerprinting method is highly useful for seed producers and plant breeders as it enables them to check the seed purity, differentiate lines and genotypes.
