Analysis of genetic diversity among exclusive Kabuli accessions collected from IIPR, Kanpur, was demanding.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The present study apprised application of RAPD in assessing genetic diversity predominantly in Kabuli chickpea seed accessions.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>Of the 10 RAPD primers tested, the average number of bands per primer per accession accounted to 9.5. Maximum number of bands scored by the primer OPA-17 was 28 while least number of bands displayed by OPG-04 was 14.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The accession KAK-2 exhibited polymorphic among all and therefore diverse. Thus, it can be utilized as one of the parents in future chickpea breeding program.</p> ER -
