Genetic parameters were estimated for the 24 known provenances, growing at two sites in Israel, and 8 Israeli provenances from unknown seed's sources. Three types of DNA testing were used to determine the differences between these provenances: PCRRFLP analysis, microsatellite markers analysis and analysis of ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS).
