Abstract excerpt
Trees of 68 apple cultivars, aimed for preservation by the 'National Program for diversity of cultivated plants' as mandate cultivars, were analysed using a set of 10 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primer pairs and the self-incompatibility (S-)locus to evaluate genetic diversity and reveal inter-cultivar relationships. The 12 polymorphic SSR loci exhibited 2 to 15 alleles, with expected heterozygozity (H(e))...
