Development of molecular tools for characterization and genetic diversity analysis in Tunisian fig (Ficus carica) cultivars.

Fig, Ficus carica L., is a useful genetic resource for commercial cultivation. In this study, RAPD (60), ISSR (48), RAMPO (63), and SSR (34) markers were compared to detect polymorphism and to establish genetic relationships among Tunisian fig tree cultivars.

Genetic diversity of different Tunisian fig (Ficuscarica L.) collections revealed by RAPD fingerprints.

The genetic diversity in Tunisian fig (Ficus carica L.) was studied using RAPD markers. Thirty-five fig cultivars originating from diverse geographical areas and belonging to three collections were analysed.
