Title: RAPD Polymorphisms Among Pistacio (Pistacia vera L.) Cultivars
Authors: L. Dollo, J.I. Hormaza and V.S. Polito
Abstract:
The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA
(RAPD) technique was used to characterize 15
cultivars of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.). Thirtythree
decamer oligonucleotide primers were
screened and 14 or these produced 37 reproducible polymorphic bands which are useful as
markers.
Each cultivar exhibits a unique molecular phenotype and, as a consequence, can be
uniquely identified using these selected markers.
Our results suggest that RAPD analysis can
provide a new alternative for pistachio cultivar
identification and classification, and can be
effectively incorporated into pistachio breeding
programs.
