Summary
Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers were used to distinguish and characterize 20 Indian potato cultivars. A total of 198 scorable fragments were amplified using 10 random primers, only two of which were monomorphic. Similarity values among the cultivars ranged from 0.33 to 0.80. A primer having resolving power above 7.4 was sufficient to distinguish all 20 cultivars. Wide variations in band profiles were observed when the same template DNA was amplified using Taq DNA polymerase from four different sources. No significant difference in profile complexity was observed at 40°C annealing temperature with a primer having 70% GC content. Prior restriction of template DNA resulted in band profiles whose complexity was similar to or higher than that of unrestricted template. However, multiplex RAPD with cleaved template DNA could not increase fingerprint complexity.
