Genetic diversity assessment is an integral part of selecting a highly productive species. Crop improvement is primarily accomplished by continuous infusion of wild relatives, traditional varieties using contemporary breeding techniques, which all require genetic diversity assessment. The present study showed the utility of SSR markers in revealing assessment, genetic variability and molecular characteristics among twenty genotypes of wheat. The studied germplasm were characterized at molecular level using 18 SSR markers. The similarity coefficient value for all the 20 genotypes ranged from 0.69 to 0.89. The minimum similarity exhibited by genotype DBW16 and PBW226. Whereas, the maximum similarity was shown by genotype K9423 and PBW533. This study has shown the existence of considerable genetic variation among the genotypes considered with may help for further selection and breeding.
