Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to estimate genetic diversity at molecular level (RAPD) for twenty three genotypes of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.). RAPD analysis was conducted using 14 random primers of which eight primers produced 41 bands, 39 being polymorphic, generating 95% polymorphism. Jaccard similarity index based on RAPD revealed 49.6% average similarity with a range of 28% to 86%.
