| Abstract | ||||
| The three apricot cultivars (Amal, Amar and Canino), which budded on apricot seedlings (Saladi) were compared for their vegetative growth, yield as well as fruit quality. Results showed that Amar cultivar was the most vigorous tree, while it gave the smallest leaf area. Amal and Canino cultivars, were the least for vigorous but gave the largest leaf area. Yield for Canino cultivar was very high comparing with the yield of Amar cultivar. Consequently, the best fruit quality for Canino was more than the other two cultivars. . Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAP D) analysis was carried out to evaluate polymorphism and genetic similarity between three apricot cultivars (Amal, Amar and Canino) and rootstock (Saladi). Seventy -five amplification products were identified using four random primers, with an average of 18.8 bands per primer. The genetic variations arranged between them as Saladi> Canino> Amar> Amal. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed the low level of genetic variation between Amal and Amar, whereas their rootstock Saladi with Canino showed genetic dissimilarity. This polymorphism make this marker useful for genetic studies in apricot cultivars. | ||||
