A set of seventeen castor genotypes were analyzed using thirteen SSR and eight ISSR markers. PCR amplification using thirteen SSR markers gave 61.92% polymorphism, 244 scorable bands with an average of 4.92 alleles and 18.76 bands per primer. ISSR markers gave 89.42% polymorphism, 730 scorable bands with an average of 13.5 alleles and 91.2 bands per primer. In this study we found ISSR as a better tool for characterization of castor genotypes.
