The utilization of RAPD technique for the differentiation of mango anthracnose resistance cultivars

The degree of genetic variation of 10 Mangifera indica cultivars was measured at the molecular level by random amplified polymorphic DNA（RAPD）.The results show that 10 Mangifera indica cultivars are clustered into 3 RAPD groups which is markedly correlated with the resistance of mango to anthracnose，revealing that the RAPD technique can be used as an aid in screening the disease resistant cecultivars.
