Abstract:Objective: Benin's most appreciated Amaranthus cruentus L. «local» cultivar is susceptible to saline stress. Molecular diversity and relationships among nineteen gamma-irradiated A. cruentus mutant lines and their relative, the «local» cultivar, were studied to identify the best representative sample of those created mutant lines for further saline tolerance breeding.
Methodology and Results:The study was carried out by using a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker. Four RAPD (decamer) arbitrary prime… Show more
