RAPD analysis of 19 Ponkan mandarin accessions was performed using 25 random primers. Of 112 amplification products selected, only 32 were polymorphic across five accessions. The absence of genetic variability among the other 14 accessions suggested that they were either clonal propagations with different local names, or that they had undetectable genetic variability, such as point mutations which cannot be detected by RAPD.

Transcriptome studies based on quantitative sequencing estimate gene expression levels by measuring the abundance of target RNAs in libraries of sequence reads. The sequencing cost is proportional to the total number of sequenced reads. Therefore, in order to cover rare RNAs, considerable quantities of abundant and identical reads have to be sequenced. This major limitation can be lifted by strategies used to deplete the library from some of the most abundant sequences. However, these strategies involve either an extra handling of the input RNA sample, or the use of a large number of reverse-transcription primers (termed "not-so-random primers"), which are costly to synthetize and customize. Here, we demonstrate that with a precise selection of only 40 "pseudo-random" reverse-transcription primers, it is possible to decrease the rate of undesirable abundant sequences within a library without affecting the transcriptome diversity. "Pseudo-random" primers are simple to design, and therefore are a flexible tool for enriching transcriptome libraries in rare transcripts sequences.

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) plants are dioecious. All-male cultivars are desired because of their higher yields. To increase the proportion of male individuals planted in the field and expedite the breeding of all-male cultivars in asparagus, development of generally applicable molecular markers to distinguish male and female individuals is required. Bulked genomic DNA samples from ten male (XY) and ten female (XX) plants was screened with 10-bp random primers. Of the 188 primers tested, the primer T35R54 produced a 1600-bp fragment observed only in male individuals. The specificity of this T35R54-1600 marker was verified using DNA from one supermale (YY) and one female (XX) breeding line and their four F<sub>1</sub> progenies (XY). The T35R54-1600 marker fragment was observed in both supermale and all-male lines. The sequence of the T35R54 primer (5'-TTCACGGTGG-3') was absent among the sequences of primers or amplified fragments from previous studies. Therefore, this marker could be useful as a sex-related marker in future studies to increase the reliability of sex determination in asparagus.
