Abstract

In the present paper, a sugarcane collection used
as parents for early ripening and high sugar content, was
studied by molecular markers based on amplified fragment
length polymorphism technique (AFLP). Fourteen primer
combinations were able to recognize two markers of genetic
diversity groups and 48 individual differential fragments.
These markers allowed to identify 11 out of the 15 genotypes
studied. The differential markers were introduced in the Cuban
sugarcane germplasm database (BANCOGER), which could
be also useful for mapping purposes in sugarcane.
