Table 1. Sequence of AFLP-Adapters Used in this Study

Over the last few years, PCR-based technologies have become established as systems for genetic mapping and fingerprinting in a variety of organisms (1,8,9). AFLP (7) is a recently developed multilocus marker technique that has been widely used for identifying polymorphisms in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms (3,4,6). In AFLP, a subset of restriction fragments from a genomic DNA digest is selectively amplified in the PCR. The technique does not require prior knowledge of DNA sequences and has proved to be both robust and reliable because it uses stringen
