Abstract

In this study, the genetic diversity of Glycine max L. was evaluated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Intraspecific polymorphism of soybean landraces was 25%. The molecular marking revealed the specific fragments, which can be used as molecular markers in soybean genotyping. On the bases of ISSR analysis, the genetic distances were esti-mated, and dendrogram reflecting genetic similarity was constructed. 

Genotyping of soybean germplasm is useful tool for modern breeding programs which are aimed at the development of new cultivars with desirable traits. 

Keywords: Glycine max, landraces, polymorphism, specific fragments, genetic distance, primers, ISSR markers.
