“…The high level of heterozygosity in our study was attributed to cross pollination and out crossing. Different levels of genetic diversity and polymorphism have been reported in mango using various types of markers, like 90% and above by SSR markers (Dillon et al, 2013;Surapaneni et al, 2013), 85 to 99% with ISSR (Ariffin et al, 2015;Samal et al, 2012;Tomar et al, 2011), 73 to 100% with RAPD (Ravishankar et al, 2000;Karihaloo et al, 2003;Rahman et al, 2007;Rajwana et al, 2008;Souza et al, 2011), 84 to 96% by AFLP (Yamanaka et al, 2006;Ga´lvez-Lo´pez et al, 2010) and 73% by SCoT markers (Luo et al, 2010). The average PIC value obtained in this study was 0.764 which was higher than the average value reported by earlier studies (Surapaneni et al, 2013;Dillon et al, 2013;Ravishankar et al, 2011;Hirano et al, 2010 andSchnell et al, 2005).…”
