Abstract
RAPD assessment on genetic variations of 45 germplasm s in teas was carried out. 8 primers selected from 40 random primers were used to amplify 45 tea samples, and a total of 95 DNA bands were amplified, among which 90 (94.7%) were polymorphic. The average number of DNA bands amplified by each p rimer was 11.50. UPGMA cluster analysis of 95 DNA bands amplified by 8 primers w as made. The results showed that all the materials tested could be classified in to 7 groups including 5 complex groups and 2 simple groups, which was basically identical with morphological classification, besides these, there were some spec iation in 2 simple groups.
