Abstract

Assessments of the Genetic diversity among ten local accessions of Solanum lycopersicum (Linn) from the southern senatorial district of Adamawa State, Nigeria was carried out. The study was aimed at investigating genetic diversity and elucidating the phylogenetic relationship of the local tomato accessions. Ten SSR markers were employed to investigate the genetic diversity among the tomato accessions. Eight out of ten primers i.e. (90%) were polymorphic representing loci. Total of (31) alleles were recorded and the mean number of alleles per locus was 0.2580. The lowest number of bands across genotype was two and the highest number of bands across genotypes was seven. The PIC value of SSR primers obtained ranged from 0.35 to 0.77 with the average number of polymorphic bands per primer being 23.72. While clustering among local accessions of Adamawa tomato using the unweight pair group method with arithmetic mean analysis (UPGMA), three clusters (A, B and C) were observed. The clustering however was regardless of the geographical locations where seeds were collected. It is therefore suggested that tomato accession (Tt001) with large number of fruits per truss and tomato accessions (Tt009) and (Tt010) which on the other hand had divergent phenotypic characters and had clustered closely based on molecular analysis could hybridize into a robust cultivar.
