Abstract

n this paper, we present the results of the examination of the genetic characteristics of 7 autochthonous varieties of "Lubeničarka" pear (watermelon pear) that are typical for the Banjaluka region, using AFLP molecular markers. In order to reliably confirm that there are differences among selected varieties we have analyzed their genetic profiles using AFLP genetic markers and established, based on the Jaccard similarity coefficient, that there is a genetic variability among the studied varieties. Furthermore, based on these analyzes we have classified these varieties into 3 groups of which variety G_19 has a very large coefficient (0.4369) when compared to other varieties. These results might be immensely important for present and future pear breeding and genetic improvement program.
