Abstract: | Summary The applicability and reliability of RAPD markers were evaluated for an examination of the possible use of RAPD markers to confirm hybridity of somatic hybrids between dihaploids of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Most of the primers examined detected polymorphism among either tetraploids or dihaploids, and polymorphism was easily detected even among closely related clones. Most of the examples of polymorphism were confirmed as being the result of amplification from the nuclear genome by a comparison of patterns generated by PCR of clones that carried the same cytoplasm. All the bands of dihaploids were transmitted stably to the respective hybrids. In the absence of primers that generated complementary polymorphic bands for both parents, a mixture of two appropriate primers, each of which generated a band specific to one parent, permitted the simple confirmation of hybridity. Hybridity of all the fusion-derived regenerants of 32 fusion combinations was unequivocally confirmed, a result that suggests that RAPD analysis could be universally applicable to the confirmation of hybridity in the dihaploid breeding of potato. |
