Abstract: Tomato is an important vegetable having high economic and medicinal values for human beings. There have been great variation have observed and show great genetic diversity. Among different molecular maker SSR were very highly reproducible for determing the polymorphism. In this research the insilico analysis were used for the identification of the eSSR markers from the EST sequence of Tomato available in NCBI. This approach is easiest, requires less time consuming, cost effective and also provide molecular mapping which leads an opportunity for gene discovery which shows linkage with a trait of interest. The main objective of this research is to develop the efficient eSSR marker using ESTs of tomato and molecular characterization of tomato can be done to determine the genetic diversity present in selected genotypes. This will possess a significant specificity and high degree of conservation. In future it will be considered as a potential tool for various genotyping, applications including studying cross-transferability and phylogenetic relationships and comparative genome mapping in crop species.
