The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) technique was used to identify and distinguish nucellar and zygotic 45-day-old seedlings of three citrus rootstocks namely Volkamer lemon (Citrus volkameriana Ten. & Pasq.), Rangpur lime (C. limonia, Osbeck), Cleopatra mandarin (C. reshni Hort. ex Tan.) with their mother trees. Primers OP-A2, OP-A8, OP-A18, OP-B3, OP-B4 and OP-B6 were used for identifying the nine rootstock genotypes. Seedlings classified as zygotic (sexual) have a different RAPD profile from that of the mother plant or nucellar (vegetative) seedlings. RAPD markers allowed the efficient identification of zygotic and nucellar seedlings.
