Abstract:
The tiny seeds of parasitic weeds of the genus Orobanche can be identified by using RAPD markers. A simple procedure for DNA extraction from single seeds, 10 μg each, followed by RAPD-PCR and using specific DNA markers, leads to species identification. Seeds of five different species could be identified using this method. © 1996 International Society for Plant Molecular Biology.
