Fig. 1. RAPD banding patterns of Operon primers AF6(a) and P8(b) and 14 bentgrass DNAs. Arrows indicate species-specific, strong and reproducible RAPD bands that were amplified in creeping(a) and colonial(b) bentgrass species and converted into species-specific SCAR markers. Bentgrass plants indicated are two velvet bentgrass plants of cultivar EVM 99 (Lanes 1 and 2), seven creeping bentgrass plants of Cato (Lanes 3–9), and five colonial bentgrass plants of ‘9F7’ (Lanes 10–14). "M" indicates 100-bp marker with a bright middle band estimating 600 bp.
