Tubulin-based polymorphism (TBP) is an intron length polymorphism (ILP) method widely applicable to any plant species and particularly suitable for a first and rapid classification of any plant genome. It is based on the selective, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based amplification of the two introns present at conserved positions within the coding sequences of plant β-tubulin genes. Amplification releases a simple yet distinctive genomic profile.
Keywords: DNA fingerprinting; DNA polymorphism; Introns; Molecular markers; Tubulin.
