Abstract

In the present study, ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeat)
markers were employed to determine genetic diversity
among 30 clones of Salix (S. acmophylla, S. excelsa, S. alba
and S. triandra). The average percentage of polymorphic
loci was 59.86. The pair-wise genetic similarity varied from
0.18 to 0.65. Nei’s gene diversity (HE) ranged from 0.12 to
0.18 and the average expected heterozygosity (HE) estimated
0.15. The values obtained for genetic diversity (HT = 0.20)
and genetic differentiation (GST= 0.20) indicated a low level
of genetic differentiation among examined populations of
Salix in North West of Iran
