Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure in Asparagus species using SSR markers

Various Asparagus species constitute the significant vegetable and medicinal genetic resource throughout the world. Asparagus species serve as important commodity of food and pharmaceutical industries in India. A diverse collection of Asparagus species from different localities of Northwest India was investigated for its genetic diversity using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers.Polymorphic SSR markers revealed high genetic diversity.
