Assessment of genetic variance, phylogenetic relationship and population structures using multiple molecular marker systems in popular varieties of citrus
This study evaluated four molecular marker systems (RAPD, ISSR, SCoT, and CBDP) to characterize 19 popular citrus varieties, concluding that SCoT markers are the most efficient for germplasm characterization due to their superior polymorphism and PIC values, while revealing that the majority of genetic variation exists within rather than between populations.
