Triticeae crops, such as wheat, barley, and rye, hold a significant position in global agriculture. To enhance the efficiency of genetic improvement in these crops, advanced molecular marker technologies, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers, have been widely applied. This study explores the application of SEM and SCoT markers in the genetic improvement of Triticeae crops, highlighting the latest advancements in these technologies and their use in genetic diversity studies. By comparing SEM and SCoT markers with other molecular markers, the study analyzes their advantages and challenges in Triticeae crop research. Through case studies, the effectiveness of these technologies in different environments and varieties is demonstrated. The findings indicate that SEM and SCoT markers can effectively reveal the genetic diversity and morphological traits of Triticeae crops. These markers are of significant value in genetic mapping and breeding selection. Understanding and applying SEM and SCoT marker technologies are crucial for the genetic improvement of Triticeae crops. These technologies not only reveal morphological characteristics but also enable researchers to deeply analyze genetic diversity, providing more precise data support for breeding programs. The application prospects of SEM and SCoT marker technologies in the genetic improvement of Triticeae crops are promising. Future research should further optimize these technologies to enhance crop yield and disease resistance.
