Eleusine indica is one of the most common weed species found in agricultural land worldwide. Although herbicide-glyphosate provides good control of the weed, its frequent uses has led to abundant reported cases of resistance. Hence, the development of genetic markers for quick detection of glyphosate-resistance in E. indica population is imperative for the control and management of the weed. In this study, a total of 14 specific random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were identified and two of the markers, namely S4R727 and S26R6976 were further sequence characterized. Sequence alignment revealed that marker S4R727 showing a 12-bp nucleotides deletion in resistant biotypes, while marker S26R6976 contained a 167-bp nucleotides insertion in the resistant biotypes. Based on these sequence differences, three pairs of new sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) primers were developed. The specificity of these primer pairs were further validated with genomic DNA extracted from ten individual plants of one glyphosate-susceptible and five glyphosate-resistant (R2, R4, R6, R8 and R11) populations. The resulting RAPD-SCAR markers provided the basis for assessing genetic diversity between glyphosate-susceptible and -resistant E. indica biotypes, as well for the identification of genetic locus link to glyphosate-resistance event in the species.

The concepts, methodologies and applications of some of the major molecular or DNA markers commonly used in plant science have been presented. The general principles of molecular marker techniques have been elucidated with detailed explanation of some notable basic concepts associated with marker applications: marker polymorphism, dominant or co-dominant mode of inheritance, agronomic trait-marker linkage, genetic mutations and variation. The molecular marker methods that have been extensively reviewed are RFLP, RAPD, SCAR, AFLP, SSR, CpSSR, ISSR, RAMP, SAMPL, SRAP, SSCP, CAPS, SNP, DArT, EST, and STS.

Aims: This study aimed to develop a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-based sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for species-specific detection of Phytophthora nicotianae, a global plant pathogen. Another objective was to develop a multiplex PCR assay for simultaneous detection of P. nicotianae and huanglongbing-causing bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas) in citrus roots using the developed SCAR marker and a previously published 16SrDNA-based CaLas-specific primer set.

Objective: Identification of Salmonella Typhi by conventional culture techniques is labour-intensive, time consuming, and lack sensitivity and specificity unlike high-throughput epidemiological markers that are highly specific but are not affordable for low-resource settings. SCAR, obtained from RAPD technique, is an affordable, reliable and reproducible method for developing genetic markers. Hence, this study investigated the use of SCAR as an alternative molecular epidemiological marker for easy identification of S.
