Molecular markers of inbred radish [Raphanus sativus var.Radicola Pers.] lines

An approach which could be used for quick searches for RAPD markers is described for groups of radish lines with certain morphological traits. The lines are characterized by various morpho-physiological abnormalities, including tumor formation (lines 12, 19, and 21) and non-terminal development of the flower meristem as a variant of tumor growth (line 6). We found four markers which differentiate tumor radish lines 12, 19, and 21 from the others, and two which differentiate line 6.
