Abstract
Seventeen genotypes of lemon were characterized using genome size and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Genome size was measu red by flow cytometry CFC). Eight genotypes displayed a characteristic DNA content. The remaining nine genotypes required the combined use o f FC and RAPD for identification. The DNA content of the genotypes var ied between 0.770 (Cristiania) and 1.146 (Cerza) pg/nucleus, accountin g for a difference of ca. 33%.
