HARDINGGRASS, a cool-season perennial, is native to the Mediterranean region (Carlson et al., 1996).
Little information is available on the genetic diversity of hardinggrass accessions and cultivars.
Among the different marker systems available, AFLP markers are particularly suitable for genotypic evaluation of out-crossing grass species like hardinggrass. AFLP markers are highly reproducible with overall error rates of less than 2% (Vos et al., 1995; Tohme et al., 1996), amenable to automation for high-throughput genotyping, and anonymous, so they do not require any sequence information.
