Abstract

Genetic characterization of 32 pecan genotypes was carried out using 40 RAPD primers of which 13 produced polymorphism. In total 75 polymorphic RAPD bands were observed with 22 unique bands. Dendrogram was divided into three broad clusters parallel to their origin. Similarity matrix ranged from 0.00 to 0.55. PIC value ranged from 0.62 to 0.84 with an average of 0.74.
