Diversity analysis was performed among 39 cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) accessions of Central Asia and Caucasian origin using five highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. A total of 33 alleles determined ranging from 3 to 8 per locus. Estimated gene diversity value for 33 loci was 0.66. Genetic similarity indices among 39 accessions ranged from 0.24 to 1.0. Cluster analysis using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean method classified accessions into six major groups at 0.5 similarity coefficient. More than half accessions from Tajikistan formed large cluster. On the other hand, a few accessions from each country showed unique genotypes. Overall, most of the accessions, except ones with closely related origin, were distinguished by the present high quality DNA fingerprinting. This molecular diversity information gives important basis for conservation strategy in gene bank and exotic germplasm introduction in breeding programs in Central Asia and Caucasian countries.
