Abstract:

In the present study genetic diversity based on RAPD markers was carried for five high yielding cultivars of Vigna unguiculata from Telangana region. A total 16 primers were used for the detection of polymorphism. Out of 230 bands formed 109 bands were found to be polymorphic. However the extent of polymorphism varied with each primer present and an average of 91.1% polymorphism was found among the cultivars in Vigna. Dendrogram constructed based on UPGMA analysis showed two clusters with first cluster bifurcating into two subclusters a and b. Dendrogram and similarity index clearly indicated that Gangothri and Pusakomal are in the same cluster a, and two cultivars Navrathan and Gowthami in cluster b,of the first cluster representing two genetically similar groups.  Gomchi found to be genetically much distant and formed a second cluster indicating that this cultivar is much variant from others.
