Abstract
The study was carried out to estimate genetic variability of ten Iraqi wheat varieties by using microsatellite . PCR amplifications with 15 SSR markers gave 266 loci of which 248 (93.2%) polymorphic with PIC value 0.4308. The pattern generated by SSR markers separated the ten wheat varieties into two clusters. Dendrogram of similarity by the (UPGMA). Study appered two groups including a group closest genetically Tamouz3, Ibaa99, Tamouz2 in same group while the other cultivars distributed according to the genetic distance and the results showed thetwo cultivars Rasheed and Sham4 are the most distant genetically.
microsatellite has a best markers than another genetic techniques for identify genetic diversty between cultivars, and known the descent of relatives, and. ancestors. It is an ideal marker that assessing the genetic diversity in population of wheat.
