ABSTRACT
Ten pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) germplasm accessions from Thailand were screened using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Twelve dodecamer oligonucleotide primers, singly and in combination were used. The similarity values among the studied genotypes range from 0.209 to 0.891. The resulting dendrogram divided the accessions into two major groups. The first group which include 8 accessions with white corolla was further divided into two subgroups. The first subgroup included 4 long-fruited (CA849, CA958, CA1107 and CA1118) and 1 medium-fruited (CA365). The second subgroup included 1 medium-fruited (CA367) and 1 short-fruited (CA398). However, the medium-fruited CA020 could not be clustered into any subgroup. The second group included a short-fruited with 1 white having green margin corolla (CA024) and a yellow green with green-yellow spots corolla (CA034). The obtained clustering based on RAPD markers was consistent with morphological characteristics of the different pepper accessions.
