Molecular characterization of soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes by using RAPD marker

Soybean (Glycine max) is the primary source of protein, classified as an oilseed crop. RAPD molecular markers have been shown to be a simple and effective means to evaluate variability in crop. Genetic similarity estimate based on RAPD banding pattern used for cluster analysis to present genetic relationship in the form of dendrogram. Which gives polymorphism with highest percent. According to this data it can be concluded that highest similarity coefficient recorded in between AVT-23-96 and AVT-23-89 i.e. 0.96 whereas AVT-23-89 and IVT-5 showed least similarity of 0.39% in RAPD marker analysis. Where polymorphism percentage is 76.5%. The present results enable the selection of genetically distinct individuals such information may be useful to breeders willing to use genetically diverse introductions in soybean improvement process. The present investigation is concluded on Molecular characterization of soybean by using RAPD marker.
