Genetic Variation In Moringa Stenopetala Germplasm Of Ethiopia By Using Rapd As Genetic Marker

The germplasm of Moringa stenopetala were assessed for genetic divergence within andrnamong populations. Nineteen accessions that were represented by seventy-one individualsrnwere studied. A total of 251 unambiguous bands were scored from OPA-13 primers. Norncommon band was found for the entire populations. The range of mean diversity estimates ofrnShannon’s index varies from 0.00 for Lasho and Berber to 0.3623 for Konso Gamolle withinrnpopulations and the entire population was found to have the index of 0.3124. Similarly, Nie’srnmean estimates of diversity within populations range from 0.00 for Lasho and Berber torn0.2440 for Konso Gamolle and its entire population mean was 0.1818. The phenetic treern(dedrogram) constructed to evaluate relationships within populations was unable torndiscriminate 42% of the analyzed accessions. On the other hand, the range of the geneticrndistance was 0.00 to 0.41 and with a mean of 0.09.The genetic variability among thernaccessions was found to be low.
