“…The explorations of mei and plum products development have achieved enormous popularity. Applications of molecular approaches in classification have been extensively studied in recent decades (Kellogg & Appels, 1995;Persson, 2000;Tingey & Tufo, 1993;Woese, Gutell, Gupta, & Noller, 1983;Wu, Ueda, Nishihara, & Matsumoto, 2001;Zhang, Bao, & Chen, 1998). In the classification of Prunus, molecular method-based method has focused on the isozyme (Wang, Lu, & Guo, 1991), RAPD (Poon, 2000;Zhang et al, 1998), AFLP (Hagen, Khadari, Lambert, & Audergon, 2002) and amplification of some self-compatibility genetic markers in breeding (Tao, Habu, Yamane, Sugiura, & Iwamoto, 2002).…”
