“…ISSR-PCR has been used widely in plants for the analysis of genetic relationships between and within species (Salimath et al, 1995;Tsumura, Ohba & Strauss, 1996;Fang, Krueger & Roose, 1998;Ge & Sun, 1999;Ajibade, Weeden & Chite, 2000;Chapman, Parh & Oraguzie, 2000;Huang & Sun, 2000;Martin & Sanchez-Yelamo, 2000), assessment of hybridisation in natural populations (Wolfe, Xiang & Kephart, 1998) and germplasm analysis (Proven, Powell & Waugh, 1996;Gilbert et al, 1999). Further, ISSR-PCR is useful in fingerprinting and characterisation of accessions Moreno, Martin & Ortiz, 1998;Blair, Panaud & McCouch, 1999;Charters & Wilkinson, 2000) and identification of cultivars and varieties Prevost & Wilkinson, 1999;Zavodna et al, 2000;Kumar et al, 2001).…”
