Phylogenetic relationships among Saccharum clones in Pakistan revealed by RAPD markers
“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.
