Summary:This study was carried out to evaluate the suitability of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for varietal identification and genetic diversity in 28 commercial tomato varieties. The relationship between marker genotypes and 28 varieties was analyzed. Of the 219 pairs of SSR primers screened against ten tomato varieties, 18 pairs were highly polymorphic with polymorphism information content (PIC) ranging from 0.467 to 0.800. Among the polymorphic loci, two to nine SSR alleles were detected for each locus with an average of 3.3 alleles per locus.
