A PROCESS FOR CONSTRUCTING DNA BASED MOLECULAR MARKER FOR ENABLING SELECTION OF DROUGHT AND DISEASES RESISTANT GERMPLASM SCREENING

摘要

This invention relates to a process for constructing DNA-based molecular markers in plants comprising: identifying and selecting the gene sequences relating to stress from available database and literature; submitting the selected gene sequence for similarity search to obtain other sequences from the database similar to the selected gene sequence; subjecting the sequences obtained from similarity search to multiple alignment; removing redundant sequences if any, to get a data set of proteins involved in biotic and abiotic stress response; picking blocks or motifs from the data set of proteins on basis of statistical significance; subjecting the data set of proteins to Blockmaker to pick the same set of blocks or motifs; analysing the motifs for the functionality.
