Except for the recent studies from two laboratories, most of the previous studies have shown little or no DNA polymorphism in cultivated groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). In the present study, 70 selected genotypes, representing variability for several morphological, physiological, and other characters, were studied for polymorphism employing a RAPD assay with 48 oligonucleotide primers. Of the 48 oligonucleotide primers only 7 (14.6%) yielded polymorphic amplification products. The total number of bands from the 7 primers was 408, of which 27 were polymorphic. Detection of polymorphism in cultivated groundnut opens up the possibility of development of its molecular map by judicious selection of genotypes that show DNA polymorphism. This approach will be useful for developing marker-assisted selection tools for genetic enhancement of groundnut for desirable traits date: 2000 date_type: published publication: Genome volume: 43 number: 4 publisher: NRC Press pagerange: 656-660 refereed: TRUE official_url: http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/g00-034 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?q=Identification+of+DNA+polymorphism+in+cultivated&hl=en&btnG=Search&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=on related_url_type: author citation: Subramanian, V and Gurtu, S and Rao, R C N and Nigam, S N (2000) Identification of DNA polymorphism in cultivated groundnut using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay.
