Abstract
The suitability of DNA fingerprints as genetic markers in Hevea brasiliensis was tested. Using the human minisatellite probe 33.6, the 73 cultivated (Wickham) clones studied exhibited individual-specific, reproducible and somatically stable hybridization patterns, with stably inherited fragments. This probe has been found to be a powerful new tool for clonal identification as an alternative to isozymatic markers.
