Eleven germplasm lines of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) representing each flavanoid group made from forty one lines were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Out of 32 random decamer primers, 15 were found more polymorphic (91.5%). The polymorphic information content among these primers was 0.27 to 0.48. Jaccard’s similarity co-efficient among these pomegranate lines was found to be ranged from 0.28 to 1.0. Phylogentic tree constructed based on RAPD profile revealed that there are seven minor clusters formed within two major groups indicates high diversity exists among the germplasm. This information on germplasm lines is very useful in breeding programme for improvement of this crop. What kinds of online UK tag heuer replica watches are worth having?
