Genetic relationship among grape (Vitis vinifera L.) genotypes grown in inner Anatolia region Turkey analyzed by ISSR and RAPD markers.

ABSTRACT: Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is extensively cultivated in Turkey and holds significant cultural and economic value. However, genetic characterization of grape genotypes from lesser-studied regions such as Inner Anatolia remains incomplete, limiting conservation and breeding efforts. This study addresses this critical knowledge gap by utilizing ISSR (inter simple sequence repeats) and RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) molecular markers to comprehensively assess genetic diversity and relationships among grape genotypes from the Divriği district in Sivas province, Turkey. Eight ISSR and eight RAPD primers were used, revealing considerable genetic variation. The ISSR primers produced a total of 88 polymorphic bands, with primer UBC-810 producing the highest number of bands (15). Simil
