Abstract

Plant molecular breeding is expected to give significant gains in cultivar development through development and utilization of suitable molecular marker systems for genetic diversity analysis, rapid DNA fingerprinting, identification of true hybrids, trait mapping and marker-assisted selection. Transposable elements (TEs) are the most abundant component in a genome and being used as genetic markers in the plant molecular breeding. Here, we review on the high copious transposable element belonging to class-II DNA TEs called “miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements” (MITEs). MITEs are ubiquitous, short and non-autonomous DNA transposable elements which have a tendency to insert into genes and genic regions have paved a way for the development of functional DNA marker systems in plant genomes. This review summarises the characteristics of MITEs, principles and methodologies for development of MITEs based DNA markers, bioinformatics tools and resources for plant MITE discovery and their utilization in crop improvement.
