title: A comparison of methods for the estimation of genetic diversity in strawberry cultivars.
abstract: RAPD markers were used to examine the genetic relatedness of eight strawberry cultivars released from four breeding programmes around the world. Ten random primers successfully amplified DNA fragments from each cultivar and specific fingerprints were generated from the molecular marker data. The cultivars were traced back to founding clones and the relationships between the cultivars were examined from both the molecular and the pedigree data.
