摘要

The present study was designed to evaluate genetic diversity among twenty cotton genotypes by employing thirty one SSR markers that were reported from Brookheaven National Laboratories. Out of thirty-one primers, six SSR primers were found polymorphic at different SSR loci. Maximum number of loci (33), were amplified by MNH-93, while minimum (22) by 238-F. Total percentage of informative loci was 36.8%. Genetic diversity matrix of these genotypes was calculated by NTSYS-pc 2.2 software. Genetic similarity coefficients ranged from 0.474 to 0.974. The highest dissimilarity (0.474) was observed between genotype 298-F and CIM-496. Cluster analysis as performed using un-weighted pair group method of arithmetic average algorithm showed that Nei and Li's coefficients ranged from 0.63 to 0.97. The dendrogram of cotton lines showed two major clusters except 238-F forming an out-group from other genotypes, thus showing maximum dissimilarity. Genotypes MNH-93 and K-68/9 showed maximum similarity coefficient of 0.97. Information obtained from the present study can be used to select divergent parents for future breeding programs.
