The SSR marker based diversity analysis grouped the 29 accessions in to 17 clusters which showed its efficiency in grouping the dissimilar individuals. The SSR marker method discriminated the accessions better than the morphological markers. The primer RM 21 identified more number of alleles and based on Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) the primer RM 493 is ascertained as more informative than the rest of the 14 primers used.
