Abstract : Despite as Okra is one of the most important vegetable crop all over the world, very few attention has been paid to assess the genetic diversity of okra at a molecular level. DNA isolation in okra is very difficult due to the presence of mucilaginous substance in the pods. The exploitation of marker assisted breeding in okra is often limited due to the availability of a few molecular markers, the absence of molecular genetic-map(s) and other molecular tools. Chromosome linkage-groups were not yet constructed for this crop and reports on marker development are very scanty and mostly hovering around cultivar characterization. But with the advancement of various biotechnological tools like chromosome engineering, marker assisted selection, nanobiotechnology can provide a tremendous way for okra improvement.
