Assessment of genetic divergence in some pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] genotypes using RAPD markers
Main Article Content
Abstract
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is an important protein rich pulse crop in several parts of the semi-arid tropics. Genetic diversity in the pigeonpea has been well documented based on phenotypic characterization. Recently, molecular markers such as radom amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), which is simple and fast, is widely used for the identification of genotypes, gene mapping and QTL analysis. However, reports on divergence study in pigeonpea using RAPDs are few. In a crop like pigeonpea, in which no other' markr systems are designed, RAPD technique would be useful method that enables to rapidly identify many markers and estimate the relationships and genetic diversity of populations.
