Abstract
Twenty-four genotypes of marula (Sclerocarya birrea subsp, caffra) were cha racterized using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. A dist inct band pattern was obtained for each of the trees, using as few as four arbitrary 10-mer primers. Trees propagated vegetatively by grafting showed identical fingerprints. These results suggest that RAPD markers provide a u seful system for documenting the identity of marula genotypes.
