Abstract:
A total of 248 arbitrary 10-mer oligonucleotide primers were screened using RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) techniques with the genome DNA of three groups of three-line hybrid rice and their parents. Thirteen primers produced 43 polymorphism fragments. Six primers of them produced 20 obviously repeatable polymorphic markers among rice lines tested. Using this RAPD markers,the hybrid rice combinations (sterile-line, maintainer-line, restorer-line and F1) can be effectively identified, and the genetic relationship among them can be shown.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
