“…Phylogeny and genetic diversity of the genus Lens has been studied first by seed protein electrophoresis (Ladizinsky, 1979b;Sultana et al, 2006) and isozyme markers (Zamir and Ladizinsky, 1984;Pinkas et al, 1985;Hoffman et al, 1986;Muehlbauer et al, 1989;Erskine and Muehlbauer, 1991;Mayer and Soltis, 1994;Ferguson and Robertson, 1996). The DNA-based markers, such as RFLP (Havey and Muehlbauer, 1989;Muench et al, 1991;Rajora and Mahon, 1994), RAPD (Sharma et al, 1995;Ferguson et al, 2000;Sonnante and Pignone, 2001;Toklu et al, 2009;Tewari et al, 2012), AFLP (Sharma et al, 1996;Zavodna et al, 2000;Duran and Perez de le Vega, 2004;Kahraman et al, 2004;Rubeena et al, 2006;Fiocchetti et al, 2009;Toklu et al, 2009), microsatellite markers (Duran and Perez de le Hamwieh et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2008;Babayeva et al, 2009;Reddy et al, 2010;Gupta et al, 2012, Tewari et al, 2012Zaccardelli et al, 2012), inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) (Zavodna et al, 2000;Sonnante and Pignone, 2001;Toklu et al, 2009), internal transcribed spacers (ITS) (Fernandez et al, 2000;Mayer and Bagga, 2002;…”
