Molecular Characterization Of Cocoa (Theobroma cocoa L.) Germplasm Using RAPD Markers

Key Points

• Genetic diversity assessment reveals significant variation among cocoa germplasm lines.
• Key evidence indicates a high level of genetic variation, with some markers showing clear differentiation.
• Analysis using RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers offers insights into genetic relationships among cocoa samples.
• Highlights the potential for enhanced breeding programs, aiding the development of resilient cocoa varieties.
