| Abstract: | Twenty
four apricot genotypes with different geographic origins, maintained in the
germplasm collections of Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture, Srinagar,
India, were studied by means of RAPD markers. The aim of the study was to
determine the genetic relationship amongst genetypes from different
eco-geographical regions. Fourty three decamer primers were used in the study.
All of them were polymorphic in the set of cultivars studied and allowed every
genotype to be unambiguously distinguished. A dendrogram based on UPGMA
analysis grouped the 24 genotypes into four main clusters with Jaccard’s
similarity coefficient ranging from 0.14 to 0.86 with an average of 0.40. RAPD
markers have proved to be an efficient tool for fingerprinting of cultivars and
conducting genetic-diversity studies in apricot. |
