Identification of Turkish and standard apple rootstocks by morphological and molecular markers

A. Koc, Akbulut, M., Orhan, E., Celik, Z., Bilgener, S., and Ercisli, S., Identification of Turkish and standard apple rootstocks by morphological and molecular markers, vol. 8, pp. 420-425, 2009.

Two local (Vezir-1 and Vezir-2) and two standard (M9 and MM106) clonal apple rootstocks were compared using both morphological and molecular markers. International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants criteria were used for morphological evaluation, which did not clearly separate these rootstocks. We tested 47 random decamer primers for random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis; 15 of them gave reproducible polymorphic patterns, yielding 109 bands, which showed 78% polymorphism.
