Abstract
The use of hypervariable sequences for DNA typing of plants is focussed on microsatellites and on amplification of regions defined by random (RAPD) or defined (AFLP) primers for PCR analysis of genomes. A hypervariable length of middle repetitive DNA has been isolated from citrus that contains no obvious hypervariable structures. The fingerprinting probe was shown to have an important commercial application in the separation of zygotic from nucellar progeny. A somatic variant of the sequence within one orange tree suggests that somatic variation in hypervariable markers may be a common event.
