Molecular characterization of olive cultivars in Iraq using AFLP markers

الملخص EN

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to study the genotype relation among ten different olives varieties from al- zafrania and al-mosel station ministry of agriculture/Iraq Shami, Sorani, Manzanilla ,Kaissy, Arbequine ,Jlot, Baaskika ,Dahkan, Nabali, Khodeir , Nine primers combinations were used which produced about ٢٥٠ amplified fragment.

.

One hundred and forty fife of these loci (٥٩.٨%) were polymorphic over all the genotypes tested.

Dendrogram and matrix of similarity were obtained by the Unweighted Pair-GroupMethod analysis (UPGMA).study showed four group ١ : Jlot , Dahkan , Kiassy, Basskika ٢ : Manzanilla, Khodeiri, Sorani, ٣ : Nabali, Arbequine ٤ : Shami .

AFLP has a powerful tool for detecting genetic relationship among cultivars , and help in known the pedigree of relatives and ancestors
