Assesment of genetic diversity Saintpaulia inonatha using RAPD marker

Genetic diversity was studied of Saintpaulia inonatha using RAPD marker. The 8 primer used and produced 180 bands. The 163 bands were common in all the variety. Primer 10mer C, producted the least number of polymorphic bands while primers 10 mer A, producted the highest number of band. The sizes of the pieces have been produced between 300bp to 4kb. Ntsys ver 2/02 cluster analysis To draw a phylogenetic tree was used. The genetic similarity between 0.57 to 0.72 and jaccard coefficient between cluster and similarity matrix was 0/85. The results show among 6 variaty there is considerable genetic diversity. This study suggested that molecular markers RAPD useful tool for study genetic diversity among variatys of saintpaulia.
