| Abstract: | North eastern (NE) India harbours a precious germplasm repository of Capsicum in the form of various landraces. The present study was undertaken to characterise the extent of genetic variation present in different Capsicum landraces from north eastern India. A set of 171 Capsicum accessions were characterised using three-endonuclease amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Out of 416 bands obtained from six primer combinations, 254 (61 %) were polymorphic. The pairwise genetic dissimilarity among accessions ranged from 0.03 to 0.97. Cluster analysis based on neighbour joining showed two major clusters. Cluster I contained most of the bhut jolokia accessions whereas cluster II contained all of the Capsicum annuum genotypes. Similar grouping was observed with population STRUCTURE analysis as well as principle coordinate analysis. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed 45 and 54 % variation among and within populations, respectively. This information on population structure analysis and molecular characterisation will be helpful for effective utilisation of this germplasm in Capsicum improvement programs. |
