Bread wheat is most cultivated cereal used as food over 95% of the population. Twenty wheat genotypes were assayed to study the genetic diversity using molecular markers. The seventy-five alleles were identified with a mean of 2.34 alleles per locus using 32 SSR markers. Majority of SSR markers showed a high level of polymorphism. PIC values ranged from 0.05 (WMS-169) to 0.75 (CWM-107), with an average of 0.38 per primer. The RP value of primer ranges from 0.92 (WMC-177) to 1.94 (WMS-169) with an average value of 1.51, which explains the ability of primers to resolve the studied germplasm. According to similarity matrix, genetic similarity value ranged from 0.51 to 0.91. The lowest genetic similarity was observed between the WH711 and HD2733 genotypes and the maximum similarity was shown by genotype HD2864 with DBW71. Cluster analysis grouped the twenty wheat genotypes into two main clusters with one separate member. Results indicated that wheat cultivars had high genetic diversity that can be used in wheat breeding programs.
