Title: Identification of Four Major<i>Meloidogyne</i>spp. by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR)
Abstract: The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay is a variant of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in which a single primer of random sequence is used at a low-annealing temperature. Twenty-two primers were evaluated for their usefulness in identifying 18 populations of Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria. M. javanica, and M. hapla collected worldwide. Reactions with primer OPA-01 produced amplified DNA bands whose size allowed the separation of the four species. Reactions with another group of 11 primers made possible the separation of one, two, or three species []
