Molecular Characterization of Some Sunflower Oil Genotypes (Helianthus annuus L.) Using SSR


Abstract in English

The research was executed in Biotechnology Lab (Faculty of Agriculture – Damascus University), during the season 2016. Sixteen genotypes of Sunflower Oil were planted to study the genetic diversity among these genotypes and to determine the degree of genetic Agreement using the technique SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats).
