Abstract

Molecular genetic diversity estimation among 68 semi-feral accessions of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) that were collected from Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh was carried out using 43 ISSR markers. All the markers were polymorphic with mean pairwise similarity of 39%. The screening showed that all the 68 accessions were distinct genotypes and the markers grouped them into two major groups and 11 clusters.
