文摘

Genetic diversity was assessed among diverse citron watermelon landraces using simple sequence repeats markers. Analysis of molecular variance revealed 21 and 78% of total genetic variance among and within individuals, respectively. Cluster analysis identified three distinct genetic groups. Considerable genetic diversity was detected among South African grown citron watermelon landraces useful for breeding and strategic conservation.
