Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity within the forest Coffea arabica L. gene pool in Ethiopia has not been extensively examined with molecular markers. In the present study, a total of 75 polymorphic RAPD bands generated by twelve random primers were used to assess genetic diversity among 144 genotypes representing 16 C. arabica populations. The number of polymorphic bands detected with each primer ranged from 2 to 9 with a mean...
