Pa. Mclenachan et al., Markers derived from amplified fragment length polymorphism gels for plantecology and evolution studies, MOL ECOL, 9(11), 2000, pp. 1899-1903
We describe the types of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) markers that we ha
ve isolated using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) in closely
related taxa from diverse plant genera. With these markers, both inter- an
d intraspecific differences have been identified. The characterization of t
he nucleotide sequences and fragment length polymorphisms of such AFLP-deri
ved PCR markers is promising for investigating the ecology and evolution of
closely related plant taxa.
