The use of RAPD markers to analyze different varieties of economical sorghum

Xin Liu

Abstract

Molecular markers of random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) were used to determine the DNA polymorphism in 4 varieties of sorghum[S.bicolor(L.) Moench].18 primers had been used,and got 54 RAPD bands.23 RAPD bands revealed polymorphism when compared one with one among 4 varieties.By group analysis,found that although the four varieties had small difference,they could be classified clearly.
