GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS OF COMMON BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) GENOTYPES USING SCOT POLYMORPHISM

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is legume crop of worldwide importance and due to optimal content proteins other essential compounds it has a potential as functional food. Genetic diversity studies are significant from the point obtaining information important for breeding process. The goal present work was analyze genetic among 34 genotypes common different countries using 5 SCoT (Start Codon Targeted) markers. Altogether 82 DNA fragments were amplified, out which 66 polymorphic with an average 11 per primer. highest number detected by marker 59 (15). percentage polymorphism ranged 57.17% (SCoT 2) 78.57% 19) 67.3%. PIC values varied 0.719 0.886 3) value 0.802. DI between 0.722 0.888 (SCoT3), 0.804. dendrogram bean, constructed based on hierarchical cluster analysis separated into two clusters (I II). Cluster I formed subclusters. Thirty-three included in genotype Albena (Slovak Republic), significantly differed seed size II. Obtained results support effectiveness markers useful differentiating assessment set germplasm.
