Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Of 74 amplified RAPD products scored in the tomato varieties, 62.2% were polymorphic.
- Observation The OPB-18 primer gave the highest polymorphism, 83.3%.
- Observation The OPU-14 primer gave the lowest polymorphism, 44.4%.
- Observation The dendrogram of the tomato varieties revealed three clusters.
- Observation Cluster 2 split into four subgroups, with two pairs of varieties showing 100% similarity.
- Observation Genotypic relationships between varieties within clusters ranged from 2 in clusters 1 and 3 to 10 in cluster 2.
- Observation Local names, place of cultivation and phenotypic characters were not suitable for differentiating the varieties, since phenotypically different fruits were genotypically related.
