In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the germplasm conservation of some polymorphism information and the genetic diversity in Sixty-nine germplasm of okra collected from the IIVR (59) and IIHR (10), India. Microsatellite marker indicated that a total of 24 distinct bands were found polymorphic with an average of 2.4 bands per primer. The polymorphism information content (PIC) values varied from 0.492 to 0.999 with an average 0.729 and resolving power (RP) varied 0.145 to 3.97 with an average 1.841. Genetic similarity value among the okra germplasm varied from 0.50 to 0.95 with an average 0.772. On the basis of Microsatellite marker, there could be a low level of variation among the germplasm. UPGMA analysis showed that three major groups among the germplasm and dendrogram exhibited that some of the genotypes showed similarity at the molecular level. The results on polymorphism information content, resolving power and microsatellite marker genotypes such as 212-10-1, 167, Kashi Pragati and 1999 were found as diverse parents and promising for using in a breeding programme.
