DNA fingerprinting

DNA fingerprinting for rootstock selection helps identify plant varieties by their unique genetic markers. It ensures that rootstocks are disease-resistant, grow well, and match specific scions. This method improves plant performance. It also helps minimize disease risk and maintain genetic diversity. 

DNA fingerprinting benefits orchardists, nursery managers, and fruit growers. It helps them choose rootstocks that suit their climate and soil, which produce better and higher yields. Researchers and horticulturists also use it to breed stronger and disease-resistant plants.
