Pk. Ranjekar et al., USE OF RFLP IN DETECTION OF GENETIC DIVERSITY IN SOME INDICA RICE CULTIVARS, Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2(2), 1993, pp. 87-89
Using a dispersed repeat in rice referred to as pOSMIC-2, an attempt w
as made to assess the genetic variability among 18 indica cultivars. B
ased on the RFLP data and Nei's F values obtained by using three enzym
es viz. Dral, EcoRV and Scal, a dendogram was constructed which clearl
y indicated similarities and differences among these rice cultivars.
