|---|---|
| Resistance Gene Homologue Polymorphism |
(RGHP) A group of molecular marker techniques that target groups of resistance genes by PCR using primers aimed at conserved domains of resistance genes. |
| Restriction enzyme |
An endonuclease that will recognize a specific sequence and cut the DNA chain at that point. |
| Retrotransposon-Based Insertional Polymorphism |
(RBIP) A molecular marker technique that targets variation in retrotransposon insertion sites. |
| RFLP |
Restriction fragment length polymorphism. Variation between individuals as detected by differences in DNA fragment sizes after restriction digestion. |
