Molecular characterization of black pepper (Pipernigrum) using RAPD and SSR markers

摘要

A set of 20 Pipernigrum (Black Pepper) accessions were screened to identify the extent of genetic diversity present at the Molecular level using RAPD and SSR markers.. Dendogram constructed based on molecular polymorphism unveiled considerable amountof diversity among the varieties. Among this the SSR markers were found to be useful in discrimination and identification of the genotypes as it gave more genotypic specific bands.
