DNA stability in S. cereale seedlings obtained from stored seeds: (a) Representative RAPD profile of amplification with primer OPO-5 obtained from DNA of seedlings produced from stored and control (non-stored) seeds; (b) Dendrogram generated by the UPGMA method using Jaccard’s similarity coefficient, based on RAPD markers. Seeds were stored at 35 °C, 15% wc and two different storage atmospheres: air or vacuum. mm = 100 bp ladder marker. DNA was isolated from two replicates of 10 seedlings per storage condition.
