Abstract: | Summary The use of random amplified DNA fragments as genetic markers in Coffea was investigated. Arbitrary oligonucleotides were used as primers to amplify genomic DNA of different coffee accessions representing major Coffea species by polymerase chain reaction. Intraspecific variation was easily detected in C. canephora and C. liberica whereas the primers assayed failed to reveal polymorphism between C. arabica accessions. Extensive interspecific variation was observed. Genetic relationships between Coffea species are deduced from the degrees of similarity in amplified product profiles. Random amplified DNA markers appeared to be of high value for characterization, analysis and utilization of coffee genetic resources. |
