Using Morphological and Molecular Markeres aims to Assessment of the Genetic Diversity and Division Partiol of Germplasm of Iranian Melon

Study of the morphological characteristics and genetic diversity in plant inherited stores in order to classify the germplasm and preventing from genetic erosion is one of the basic and fundamental steps in the most breeding programs. This study aims to gather and identify the germplasm of Cucumis melo L. species from different areas of Iran and assessment of genetic diversity using morphological and molecular markers. Twenty one morphological traits were measured on 30 accession of Cucumis melo L. The cluster analysis of morphological data was down using UPGMA method and SPSS software. RAPD analysis was performed using 12 primers. Regimentation of accessiones، display 7 groups of separable of genetic in similarity of 82 percent. The polymorphism was determined 82 percent. Results showed that RAPD marker could slightly segregate the botanic variety of melon، and little genetic distance between them showed high similarity in this genomes.
