    Potential of molecular marker analysis for assessment of genetic diversity in tobacco varieties

    ROSSI L.; BINDLER G.; PIJNENBURG H.; GADANI F.
    Philip Morris Europe, R&D, Neuchatel, Switzerland.
    The objective of the study was to investigate the genetic diversity of tobacco varieties by developing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based procedures that can detect DNA polymorphisms in tobacco. An effective DNA extraction method is required in...
