Analysis of random amplified polymorphie DNA in Cauliflower germ plasm
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was applied to detect the genetic diversity of 61 cauliflower samples. Ten RAPD primers produced 69 bands, of which 44 bands were polymorphic and accounted for 63. 77% of the total bands. UPGMA clustering analysis displayed the genetic relationships among the varieties. RAPD markers indicated that, although cauliflower varieties had the same genetic background, there were certain differences a-mong them.
