DETECTION OF ISSR MARKERS LINKED TO SEED OIL CONTENT OF JOJOBA PLANTS (Simmondsia chinensis) CULTIVATED IN EGYPT.

ISSR marker system was quite informative for assessing the extent of genetic diversity as well as pattern of genetic relationships within the selected plants of Jojoba clones. The second main cluster was divided into two sub-clusters; one sub-cluster contains 10 Jojoba clones (4, 6, 8, 12, 9, 14, male, 13, 1 and 11), while the other sub-cluster contain three Jojoba clones (2, 7 and 3). ISSR polymorphism among different Jojoba clones Jojoba is a potential oilseed crop; however, it still needs to be developed commercially and agronomically. [Extracted from the article]
