Abstract:Despite being the center of origin and genetic diversity, there has been limited application of molecular markers in arabica coffee breeding in Ethiopia. In this study, the extent of genetic diversity and relationships of 48 elite breeding lines of arabica coffee from different geographical origins were evaluated using 14 SSR markers. The SSR markers amplified 105 alleles of which 104 are polymorphic with an average of 7.4 polymorphic alleles per locus. The average percent of polymorphism and Polymorphic Infor… Show more
