  abstract = {{G}enetic diversity among 40 accessions ({C}offea canephora) of robusta coffee genepool available in {I}ndia was determined in comparison with 14 representative samples from a {C}. canephora core collection and three accessions of {C}. congensis, using amplified fragment length polymorphism ({AFLP}) and simple sequence repeats ({SSR}) markers. {B}oth these molecular approaches were able to generate unique fingerprints for each of the accessions analysed. {A}ll the 12 {SSR} primers used in the present study were found polymorphic, with an average of six alleles per primer pair. {C}omparative analysis revealed the higher amount of diversity in representatives from a core collection than in the {I}ndian genepool. {M}oreover, a total of 205 polymorphic {AFLP} bands were scored in all the 57 accessions analysed. {T}he genetic relationship among 57 accessions was compared on the basis of {SSR} and {AFLP} polymorphisms. {G}enetic similarity dendrograms showed high correlation between the two marker systems. {T}his study clearly established the high amount of diversity present in core samples, which is not represented in {I}ndian genepool. {F}urthermore, the three accessions of {C}. congensis did not exhibit any significant diversity from other robusta accessions supporting the school of thought that {C}. congensis forms a biotype of {C}. canephora. {T}he potential use of {SSR}s and {AFLP} markers in genetic diversity analysis for better ex situ management and also for exploitation of diversity in breeding programmes is discussed.},
