Abstract
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), is one of the four important medicinal plants in Iran. Iran ranks as the world’s fourth largest coriander producer and eighth largest coriander exporter. Coriander seeds are considered one of Iran's main export commodities, demonstrating competitive advantages comparable to cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) and saffron (Crocus sativus L.) in international markets. Since breeding desirable genotypes is only possible with selecting superior genetic materials, plant breeders must use appropriate genetic diversity to achieve high performance breeding lines. Using markers to gain knowledge about genetic diversity can be beneficial in plant breeding programs. This study aimed to investigate genetic diversity, assess similarity and differences among coriander populations, and determine the genetic structure of different coriander populations using ISSR and SCoT markers.
