Mulberry has an important quality for both horticultural
production and sericulture in Turkey. Anatolia has an
extensive potential for mulberry. On the other hand, these
mullberry germplasm has not been adequately determined and
relatedness among them has not been properly investigated. A
total of 47 mullberry genotypes; 20, 14, 5, 4 and 4 from
Erzincan, Elazığ, Diyarbakır, Malatya and Mardin provinces,
respectively, were comparatively investigated in order to
determine their relationships by 55 RAPD markers obtained
from 6 primers (Operon OPA12, OPA13, OPAF04, OPF07, OPG02
and OPG03) and their relatedness were determined.
