Abstract

Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) based molecular characterization has been undertaken for assessing the genetic diversity in five populations of Solanum torvum using SSR and RAPD markers. In this study, 8 SSRs produced 151 fragments of which 131 bands were polymorphic (86.38%). The primers, At5 amplified the highest number of polymorphic loci (27) and the highest PIC was recorded in CBT08 (0.54). In comparison, RAPD assay produced 70 bands with 79.16% polymorphism. The PIC value was highest in OPC14 (0.41). UPGMA clustering for SSR and RAPD markers grouped all the populations into two clusters. Our findings on SSR profile suggests that though different populations of S. torvum are inherited from a common ancestor eventually the population (STP5) with greater genetic diversity is stabilized in the high altitude of Sub - Himalayan region of Tripura in the due course of evolution.
