Abstract
German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is an annual plant of the Asteraceae family . Chamomile has long been used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, perfumery and food industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of nine chamomile accessions using the SCoT marker. A total of 141 scorable bands were produced by 10 SCoT primers, of which 140 bands (96.5%) showed polymorphism. Cluster analysis was performed using UPGMA algorithm based on Jaccard's coefficient of similarity. Cluster analysis using molecular data and UPGMA algorithm, classified the chamomile population s into four groups. A nalysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed greater inter -group variation (55%) than the intra -group variation (45%). The results of this study showed that SCoT markers have high efficiency in determining the genetic diversity and relationships of the chamomile populations.
