Introduction Genetic fingerprinting has been expense, and use of (32 P) for labeling accomplished traditionally through the use with RELPs and VNTRs. Polymerase Chain of isozymes, and more recently through Reaction (RAPD) uses arbitrary 10-base reactions fragment length polymorphisms primers to amplify randow portions of the (RELPs), variable number tandem repeats genome (Welsh and McCIelland 1990; (VNTRs), or a combination of these. While Williams et al. 1990).The fragments these methods have been very useful in produced are easily visualized on an cultivar identification, they have a number ethidium bromide stained gel, and of disadvantages, including a limited polymorphisms between genotypes reflect number of isozyme loci, and the time, heritable differences in the genome. Large 778 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2016) 5(1): 778-787 numbers of bands, or loci, can be generated Until recently, several promising species with relative ease. Due to the arbitrary released formally are characterized on the nature of the primers, RAPD markers, unlike basis of morphological data, mango content RELPs, VNTRs, and isozymes, represent a and yield potential. Worldwide demands on random sample from the entire genome. mango necessitate work on conservation of They are, however, inherited as dominant mango germplasm and their further genetic markers, requiring larger numbers of loci to improvement. Therefore precise be identified and screened to glean the same characterization of promising species and information as from RELPLs, VNTRs, and determination of genetic variation among isozymes. Amplification of bands in the those are felt necessary. progeny which were not amplified in either parent has also been reported (Riedy et al. Until recently, several promising species 1992). released formally are characterized on the basis of morphological data, mango content The use of RAPDs to determine genetic and yield potential. These characters differ relationships has been demonstrated in under varying environmental condition maize (Welsh et al. 1991), conifers (Carlson thereby posing problem identification of et al. 1991), caca (Wide et al. 1992), and species. Unlike morphological markers, various leguminous pecies (Charlmers et al. cytological (chromosome numbers, nuclear 1992, Echt et, al.1992). Within Mangifera DNA content) and molecular markers (mango) species RAPDs have been used to (RAPD, AFLP, ISSR etc.) are not prone to determine phylogenetic relationships environmental influences and characterize (Schnell and Knight 1993).

RAPD markers have been al.1995) and in assessing genetic variations extensively used to distinguish intraspecific among different taxa at DNA level because genetic variation in ornamental crops and of its cost effectiveness and simple operation detection of hybrids and clones (Collins et without requiring prior knowledge of al., 2003; Arus, 2000; Debener, 2001a). species DNA sequences (Williams et al.1990, Frankel et al.1995).
