Abstract
RAPD analysis of 19 Ponkan mandarin accessions was performed using 25 rando m primers. Of 112 amplification products selected, only 32 were polymorphic across five accessions. The absence of genetic variability among the other 14 accessions suggested that they were either clonal propagations with dif ferent local names, or that they had undetectable genetic variability, such as point mutations which cannot be detected by RAPD.
