RAPD-based genetic diversities and correlation with morphological traits in Camellia (Theaceae) cultivars in China

X. F. Wang, Zheng, H. Y., Zheng, W. H., Ao, C. Q., Jin, H. Y., Zhao, L. H., Li, N., and Jia, L. R., RAPD-based genetic diversities and correlation with morphological traits in Camellia (Theaceae) cultivars in China, vol. 10, pp. 849-859, 2011.

Camellia is an economically important ornamental plant that has many uses, such as in beverages, foods and medicines. We examined 15 Camellia cultivars in Wenzhou, China, using RAPD markers and measurements of three traits (petal color, flower diameter, blooming period). PCR amplification with 15 random primers produced 1935 bands, observed at 88 amplification loci; 77% of the amplified loci were polymorphic, with a mean of 4.5 polymorphic loci per primer.
