Assessment of genetic diversity in tea genotypes through RAPD primers.
This study communicates the result of 24 promising tea genotypes evaluated through 11 Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA primers. High level of genetic diversity was observed on DNA level among the genotypes. The results of cluster analysis based on RAPDs revealed that four major groups could be recognized in tea grown in Mansehra District.
