Abstract
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was examined as a tool to estimate genetic variation within and among in vitro propagated Cedrus libani clones . Eleven arbitrary IO-mer primers were successfully used to amplify DNA of microcuttings obtained from four mother-plantlets. No genetic variation was detected within microcutting clones and DNA profiling with RAPDs allowed d iscrimination between the four intraspecific mother-plantlets.
