Characterisation of germplasm accessions of Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum and P. purpureum x P. glaucum hybrids) and comparison with farm clones using RAPD
Fifty six germplasm accessions of the important East African fodder crop Napier grass, Pennisetum purpureum, and its hybrids with P. glaucum, were characterised using 67 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments. No or very low intra-accession variation was found for 49 of the accessions exa...
