GENETIC FINGERPRINTING OF SUNFLOWER LINES AND F1 HYBRIDS USING ISOZYMES, SIMPLE AND REPETITIVE SEQUENCES AS HYBRIDIZATION PROBES, AND RANDOM PRIMERS FOR PCR
G. Mosges et W. Friedt, GENETIC FINGERPRINTING OF SUNFLOWER LINES AND F1 HYBRIDS USING ISOZYMES, SIMPLE AND REPETITIVE SEQUENCES AS HYBRIDIZATION PROBES, AND RANDOM PRIMERS FOR PCR, Plant breeding, 113(2), 1994, pp. 114-124
Three different marker systems which have been widely described in the
characterization of genotypes were compared. Sunflower lines and hybr
ids were analysed by three isozymes, oligonucleotides (GACA)(4), (GATA
)(4) and (GGAT)(4) as hybridization probes, and 70 primers for PCR ana
lysis. Polymorphisms were visible with each type of marker. However, t
he repeated probes, especially (GATA)(4), revealed the highest degree
of variability and seem to be most appropriate for the generation of g
enotype-specific 'fingerprints.'
