Abstract
The investigation for genetic purity testing of Samba Mahusuri in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using microsatellite markers was conducted to identify the signature markers to Samba Mahusuri and also to replace grow out test, which has been used conventionally for seed purity testing through DNA based assays. 40 SSR markers were used to screen the samba mahsuri (BPT 5204). About 38 popular rice varieties including Samba Mahsuri (BPT5204) were used in the present study. And SSR marker RM 11278 could efficiently used to generate molecular IDs for samba Mahsuri BPT 5204 respectively.
