Abstract
Molecular analysis of 29 lentil (Lens culinaris) cultivars and landraces of Indian origin was carried out using twenty RAPD and ten cross-species STMS primers. A total of 97 markers (72 RAPD and 25 STMS) were amplified of which 42.3% were polymorphic. Genetic similarity among the cultivars and landraces was 89.7%. The observed results indicated low level of genetic diversity in the studied material. UPGMA cluster analysis for the combined data of RAPD and STMS revealed two broad clusters — Cluster I with three landraces and Cluster II containing all remaining landraces and cultivars except Precoz. Germplasm line Precoz was found to be the most distinct in individual as well as combined analyses. All cultivars and landraces except K-75 and L4076 could be discriminated from one another using combined data for the two techniques. Germplasm lines Precoz, L830 and cultivars L4147 and JL3 were quite distinct and could be potential germplasm resource.
