Abstract
An investigation was carried out at Department of Biotechnology, Main Forage Research Station and Department of Biochemistry, B. A College of Agriculture, A. A. U., Anand to study morphological, biochemical and molecular diversity analysis in fodder maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes procured from different sources. A set of twenty one polymorphic SSR primers out of 80, were used to evaluate the genetic diversity among genotypes. A total of 133 alleles, ranging from 2 (umc1060, umc1623) to 14 (dupssr34) were detected with a mean of 6.33 allele per locus. The dissimilarity matrix, generate dendograms with the unweighted Neighbor- Joining (NJ). NJ clustering grouped 75 genotypes into three main clusters A, B and C with 28, 28 And 19 genotypes, respectively
