Abstract:
Infromation genetic diversity of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is important for supporting
castor cultivation and castor breeding program. SRAP (Sequence Related Amplified
Polymorphism) marker has been reported more useful for revealing diversity germplasm. Our
research aimed to explore genetic diversity of castor bean based on marker SRAP. Genomic
DNA was extracted from leaves tissue based on Genomic DNA Mini Kit Plant (Geneaid)
protocol. Profile SRAP data was converted to score data and analyzed using NTSYSpc 2.02. The
results showed similarity amongst samples based on SRAP band profiles was 0,50–0,87. PIC
value (0,25) showed moderate-informative category.
