Genetic relationships between Lolium (Poaceae) species revealed by RAPD markers

X. Ma, Gu, X. - Y., Chen, T. - T., Chen, S. - Y., Huang, L. - K., and Zhang, X. - Q., Genetic relationships between Lolium (Poaceae) species revealed by RAPD markers, vol. 12, pp. 3246-3255, 2013.

The genus Lolium is one of the most important groupings of temperate forage grasses, including about eight recognized species that are native to some temperate and subtropical regions of the northern hemisphere. We examined genetic relationships among 18 accessions representing all Lolium species using RAPD markers. Among 50 random primers that we screened, 13 gave reproducible amplification banding patterns. Each of these 13 primers generated 19-43 scorable fragments.
