individuals varying for sex, habit, and yield (four dwarf males, four dwarf females,
four tall males, four tall females, two high neera yielding males, and two high neera
yielding females). The dendrogram displayed groupings in four different clusters
based on the stature, sex, and high neera yielding types
[16]
. Out of 180 RAPD
primers screened, only three (OPBE-12, OPBA-13, and OPA-06) showed polymor-
phism between male and female sex pools of palmyra
[17]
. OPA-06 gave a con-
sistent band of 600 bp [17] when the individuals were analyzed. A future priority
in palmyra genomics would be the validation of these markers and development of
SCAR markers to tag important traits.
