İbrahim İlker ÖZYİĞİT

A set of 17 Turkish rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties (TRVs) were characterized using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers to study genetic diversity. Also, the sequences of trnL((UAA))-F-(GAA) intergenic spacer (IGS) regions were used to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships of TRVs. According to ISSR data, the observed number of alleles (Na), effective number of alleles (Ne), Nei
