Abstract :
Lake Van Basin of Turkey is located in the secondary gene center for melon. The molecular genetic diversity among thirty-seven melon genotypes collected from Lake Van Basin was determined by RAPD and ISSR makers. Total 121 polymorphic molecular markers obtained from 8 RAPD and 10 ISSR primers were employed to characterize the genetic relationships among the melon genotypes. It was found that within-group genetic similarities ranged between 0.55 and 1.00; related genotypes or genotypes collected from similar regions were partitioned to similar clusters. The genetic diversity parameters among Lake Van Basin melon genotypes were found as H = 0.175 and I = 0.231, and 96.19 % of polymorphism.
