Abstract: SSRs were used to study the diversity of 56 popcorn inbred lines and their classification of heterot-is groups,among which 26 lines were selected from 8 Chinese germplasms,26 lines from 7 foreign hybrids and 4 were introduced from foreign country. The result showed that there were high level of SSR polymorphism a-mong 56 popcorn lines. According to SSR data with Words method, 56 inbred lines were classified into 6 het-erotic groups with 3 subgroups in group I,among which 26 lines derived from Chinese germplasms were mainly divided into I,V and VI groups,fl,' and N groups were lines from foreign hybrids. This cluster result cor-responded to previous crosses making and pedigree aNa+lysis. Consequently,SSR could be used to study the germplasm of popcorn inbred lines.

Key words: Popcorn, SSR marker, Genetic distance, Cluster aNa+lysis, Heterotic groups
