Bread wheat is most cultivated cereal used as food over 95% of the population. Twenty wheat genotypes were assayed to study the genetic diversity using molecular markers. The seventy-five alleles were identified with a mean of alleles per locus using 32 SSR markers. Majority of SSR markers showed a high level of polymorphism. PIC values ranged from (WMS-169) to (CWM-107), with an average of per primer. The RP value of primer ranges from (WMC-177) to (WMS-169) with an average value of , which explains the ability of primers to resolve the studied germplasm. | Assessment of genetic diversity among twenty Indian wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars using simple sequence repeat (SSR) Markers
