Phylogenetic relationships among Saccharum clones in Pakistan revealed by RAPD markers

S. Nawaz, Khan, F. A., Tabasum, S., Zakria, M., Saeed, A., and Iqbal, M. Z., Phylogenetic relationships among Saccharum clones in Pakistan revealed by RAPD markers, vol. 9, pp. 1673-1682, 2010.

Forty sugarcane genotypes (clones), including elite lines, commercial cultivars of Saccharum officinarum and S. barberi clones, were fingerprinted with 30 RAPD markers, using a PCR-based marker assay. The genetic distance for RAPD data was determined according to Nei, and relationships between accessions were graphed in a dendrogram. Genetic distance values ranging from 16.2 to 86.3% were observed among the 40 sugarcane accessions. The lowest genetic distance was found between genotypes US-406 and US-186.
