Genetic diversity of germplasm resources was the foundation of thebreeding study.SSR markers analysis genetic diversity of chickpea (Cicer arinuml L.) germplasm.18 polymorphic SSR markers which was screened from a total of 48 SSR primer pairs detected 115 allelic variations which were 52.99% of total alleles for diversity in 96 chickpea accessions.The average number of alleles per SSR were 6.76 with a range from 3 to 10. The polymorphic information content (PIC) of each SSR locus ranged from 0.6661 to 0.8984 with an average of 0.8107.Shannon′s information index varied from 0.0607 to 1.9584 with an average of 1.4769.UPGMA cluster analysis showed that the 96 chickpea materimals were clustered into six categories at the genetic similarty coefficient of 0.59.The categoryⅠhad 9 varieties,Ⅱhad 2 varieties，Ⅲ had 28 varieties, Ⅳ had 4 varieties,Ⅴhad 40 varieties and Ⅵ had 13 varieties。Genetic diversity of the chickpea germplasm resources based on SSR markers was abundant. The study can provided reference for chickpea resources evaluation , utilization and exploration ofexcellent gene resources. The genetic diversity research of chickpea germplasm resources has guiding significance for breeding material parent.
