Abstract: It is very important to detect the genetic diversity of carrot for understanding the origin, relationship and classifying of carrot and giving references to the development and utilization of carrot germplasm. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 34 carrot accessions in the present study. Twenty random primers was used to amplify the total accessions. Among the total 139 RAPD bands identified, 99 bands (76.74%) were polymorphic. Five groups were clustered by the digital data of polymorphic bands. There was a certain extent association between RAPD variation and morphological characteristics such as root-shape and root-height of carrot.

Key words: Carrot (Daucus carota L.), Germplasm resources, Genetic diversity, RAPD
