Genetic, morphological, and chemical patterns of plant hybridization

Table 2 Comparison of several DNA-based markers used for hybrid identification

Marker	Degree of polymorphism	Inheritance	Reproducibility	Technical requirements
RAPD	Medium	Dominant	Low	Low
RFLP	Medium	Codominant	High	High
AFLP	Medium	Dominant	High	High
SSR	Medium	Codominant	Medium	Medium
SNP	High	Codominant	High	Medium

RAPD, random amplified polymorphic DNA; RFLP, restriction fragment length polymorphism; AFLP, amplified fragment length polymorphism; SSR, single sequence repeats; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.
