Genetic Diversity of Blueberry Genotypes Estimated by Antioxidant Properties and Molecular Markers.

Blueberries ( spp.) have gained much attention worldwide because of their potential health benefits and economic importance. Genetic diversity was estimated in blueberry hybrids, wild clones and cultivars by their antioxidant efficacy, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and express sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (SSR) (EST-SSR), genomic (G)-SSR and express sequence tag-polymerase chain reaction (EST-PCR) markers.
