Abstract

 Redcurrant, Ribes rubrum L., germplasm was screened for molecular polymorphism using anchored microsatellite primers in polymerase chain reactions (PCRs). Eighty markers were detected using only three primers and 16 redcurrant genotypes were fingerprinted using these markers. The genetic relatedness of these genotypes, as determined by the anchored microsatellite markers, and the implications for redcurrant breeding programmes are examined.
