Abstract
Genetic diversity evaluation among four Polianthes tuberosa genotypes comprising of only single-petal types was determined using RAPD technique. A total of 32 RAPD primers produced 263 bands, 173 (65.77%) of which were polymorphic and 90 (34.22%) monomorphic. Molecular analysis of four genotypes based on the UPGMA method assigned the genotypes in two main groups. Hence, RAPD analysis was found to be a valuable diagnostic tool to evaluate genetic diversity of P. tuberosa genotypes used in the study.
