Preliminary Studies on Morphological and Molecular Characterization of WildGarciniain Sijunjung, West Sumatra

Molecular Evaluation of <i>Garcinia kola</i> Heckel Accessions Using RAPD Markers

“…Hence, RAPD is very suitable for determining genetic diversity and relationships in Garcinia kola. The six RAPD primers used in this study were highly polymorphic across all the accessions, in agreement with the findings made by [26] and [19] who reported that, RAPD markers can be used effec- The genetic diversity revealed by RAPD primers considered in this study agrees with the observation made by [27]. The diversity of Garcinia species reported by [28] [29] and [30] using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR), Isozyme and Randomly Amplified DNA Fingerprinting (RAF) markers respectively differed due to variation in efficiency of the markers [31].…”
