Abstract
Canola oil is a popular oilseed crop due to its low crucic acid and glucosinolate. Being a newly introduce crop. less information is available about its agronomical requirement and genetic diversity. RAPD study was conducted to assess the genetic diversity among eight varieties of canola using ten RAPD primers. Forty five scorable bands were observed, out of which. 33 (73.33%) were polymorphic and only 12 (26.66%) were monomorphic. It was observed that CON-I, Dunekled, Shiralee and Abasin-95 were genetically closely related to each other. Maximum similarity was observed between CON-I and Dunekied (86%), however Hyola-42 and Oscar were genetically distinct from all other varieties.
