Abstract

Gossypium species (about 49 species) are vast resources of genetic diversity for improvement of cultivated cotton. To determine  intra- and  inter-specific genetic diversity and  relationships, it was  employed 30 RAPD's random decamer primers on twenty eight cotton accessions from 2 diploid cultivated species (G.arboreum, G.herbaceum) and 2 tetraploid cultivated species (G.hirsutum, G.barbadense). A total of 422 RAPD bands were amplified of which 88% (366) were polymorphic. Similarity indices estimated on the basis RAPD markers and cluster analysis based on similarity values showed high correspondence between RAPD marker system and known taxonomic relationships.
