Perennial bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) is a dioecious economic plant. Its leaves and fruits are considered as important non-wood forest products that are used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. However, it is not possible to distinguish males and females at an early age and this can hinder its multiplication in a planned way. The aim of the present study is to determine the sex of bay laurel at an early stage by analyzing the nuclear DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) contents using fl
