| Description | Molecular genotyping techniques are of still increasing importance in agriculture practise and trade. Here we summarize results of research projects in which a novel assay for genotyping of potato cultivars was established. The assay is based on PCR using combinations of primers derived from telomeric and telomere-associated sequences. A high degree of sequence polymorphism and, namely, the variability in mutual arrangement of otherwise conserved sequence-building-blocks of subtelomeres, enabled us to establish a simple and reliable PCR-based assay to distinguish potato cultivars in 2-3 PCR reactions. |
