Abstract Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a tremendously convenient approach used to discriminate between Brassica species owing to its accuracy and speed. RAPD primers generate adequate genetic information that can be used in the primer-marker system. In this work, twenty RAPD-PCR based markers were executed to generate polymorphic data, like polymorphic information content (PIC), mean resolving power (MRP), resolving power (RP), effective multiplex ratio (EMR), and marker index (MI) for the first time and genetic distance among and between six Brassica species were calculated. Our results indicated that 20 primers produced a total of 231 scored… More >

Abstract Genetic diversity and relatedness of 17 water primrose (Ludwigia hyssopifolia) accessions in Thailand were estimated using morphological characters and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Eight morphological characters were diverse among the accessions. However, some accessions could not be distinguished from one another based on these morphological characters alone. Unweighted pair-group arithmetic average (UPGMA) analysis of these characters separated these 17 accessions into 2 major clusters. Among the 5 RAPD primers used, a total of 68 fragments (150 to 2000 bp) were amplified, showing a polymorphism percentage of 80%. The polymorphic information content (PIC) among accessions… More >
