Biodiversity in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) germplasm of Pakistan

A. Iqbal, Sadia, B., Khan, A. I., Awan, F. S., Kainth, R. A., and Sadaqat, H. A., Biodiversity in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) germplasm of Pakistan, vol. 9, pp. 756-764, 2010.

Sorghum ranks fifth in worldwide economic importance among cereal crops and is one of the most important summer annual grasses of Pakistan. As it is a very diverse crop, sorghum genetic fingerprinting requires an efficient marker system. We estimated genetic divergence among 29 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes, including approved varieties and local and exotic lines collected from different ecological regions of Pakistan, using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.
