Abstract: | Summary Molecular DNA markers can be very useful to assess the amount of genetic variation and are thus important for taxonomic studies. Two moderately repetitive sequences were isolated from N. plumbaginifolia leaf DNA and used to screen various Nicotiana species. A huge variability was detected among species belonging to the same subgenus or the same section, which could be utilized for a molecular taxonomy of the genus Nicotiana. Although variation at the DNA level between somaclonal lines was reported, we did not find evidence for variability of both repetitive sequences in established callus culture obtained from protoplasts of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. |
