The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to characterize 15 cultivars of pistachio ( Pistacia veraL.). Thirtythree decamer oligonucleotide primers were screened and 14 of these produced 37 reproducible polymorphic bands which are useful as markers. Each cultivar exhibits a unique molecular phenotype and, as a consequence, can be uniquely identified using these selected markers. Our results suggest that RAPD analysis can provide a new alternative for pistachio cultivar identification and classification, and can be effectively incorporated into pistachio breeding programs.
