BACKGROUND: Identification of genotypes in Salvia is complicated owing to the morphological similarity and common occurrence of natural hybridisation within Salvia species. Species- and genotype-specific DNA markers are very useful for plant identification, breeding and preservation programmes and can also provide a general overview on the prediction of plant essential oil yield.
