Resumen:
The cultivation of garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important activity in economic and social terms in Argentina. The traditional techniques of improvement have allowed us to obtain monoclones with proven superiority, compared with to the populations of origin. Currently these materials have been registered in the INASE (Argentine National Institute of Seeds) as new cultivars. The aims of our studies have been to characterize the genetic diversity of selected garlic clones, to verify their identity and to propose a new tool to facilitate the legal protection of germplasm. To achieve these goals we have evaluated molecular markers such as RAPDs, AFLP and fAFLP. Their usefulness is discussed in this paper.
