Abstract
In this study, iPBS markers were used for assessing genetic diversity and determining the relationship among apricot cultivars. Six apricot genotypes from Hungary were examined with 11 iPBS retrotransposon markers through PCR amplification. The results show that 86 amplified bands were scored with an average of 8.6 amplicons for each primer. The number of polymorphic bands ranges from 0 to 4, averaged at 1.6. The percentage of the polymorphic band varies from 0 to 40.0%, with an average of 18.6%. The polymorphic information content ranges from 0.00 to 0.17, with a mean of 0.06. The resolving power varies from 0.00 to 1.67, with an average of 0.63. iPBS markers can differentiate only the MK135 and Veecot genotypes. The remaining Magyar kajszi apricot genotypes could not be determined by using iPBS markers.
