Abstract:

Five controlled crosses of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T.Blake×E.tereticornis Smith were used for RAPD analysis on DNA polymorphism and heterozygosity of the seven parental clones.A total of 58 fragments were amplified with 9 single arbitrarily chosen primers,and 42 fragments(72.4%) were scored as polymorphic among the parents.The genetic distance (GD) between parents was calculated with RAPD data matrix.High levels of heterozygosity were revealed in the parents studied,with an average 28.0%,but the percentage of heterozygous loci varied with parent from 16.2% to 39.5%.The implications for material selection in genetic linkage map construction were discussed.

Key words: RAPD, Polymorphism, Heterozygosity, Eucalypt species
