Genetic diversity analysis of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) accessions using RAPD Markers

It is important to analyse the degree of genetic variation existing within genome extend base linseed/flaxseed accessions in order preserve, evaluate and use resources accurately successfully. The main aim current investigation was scope spread genomic across different linseed by employing molecular markers (RAPD). DNA 12 amplified with 16 decamer RAPD primers that generated 81 total bands, among which 75 bands were polymorphic 6 monomorphic. Polymorphic band numbers varied from least 2 (OPS-11) highest 10 (OPS-07). magnitude polymorphism ranged 75% 100% all a mean 93.15 % accessions. value Information Content (PIC) 0.133% 0.708% 0.45% for each primer. maximum PIC (0.708) found primer OPS-07 (0.702) OPM-13. OPS-03 showed minimum (0.133). Two clusters -I -II seen cluster analysis depending on data. Cluster-II comprises one accession (IC 564585) highly accession, whereas Cluster-I some sub remaining Jaccard's similarity coefficient 8.2 96.3%. BHU-A BHU-B had (96.3%), followed IC 564605 (96.2%). More divergent discovered be 564585, 564616, 564631, 564622, 564630. provides innovative knowledge breeders germplasm would employed subsequent research improve genotypes.
