  abstract = {{E}thiopia is the center of origin and genetic diversity of arabica coffee. {F}orty-two commercial arabica coffee varieties were developed by {J}imma {A}gricultural {R}esearch {C}enter ({JARC}) of {E}thiopian {I}nstitute of {A}gricultural {R}esearch ({EIAR}) and released for production under diverse agro-ecologies of the country. {I}nformation on the level of genetic diversity among these varieties is scarce. {O}ut of the 42 varieties, the genetic diversity of 40 widely cultivated commercial varieties was assessed using 14 simple sequence repeat ({SSR}) markers. {T}hese markers revealed polymorphism among the varieties. {H}igh average number of polymorphic alleles (7.5) and polymorphic information content ({PIC} = 80%) per locus were detected among the varieties. {T}he genetic similarity among varieties using the {J}accard's similarity coefficient ranged from 0.14 to 0.78, with a mean of 0.38. {T}he range of genetic similarity coefficient values in 92% of the possible pair-wise combinations varied from 0.14 to 0.50, indicating the presence of distant genetic relatedness among the varieties. {U}nweighted pair group method using arithmetic mean ({UPGMA}) clustering showed six major clusters and three singletons. {C}offee varieties, belonging to the same geographic origin, were distributed across clusters. {T}his study represents the first evidence of the presence of a high level of genetic diversity in {E}thiopian commercial arabica coffee varieties. {D}ivergent varieties with complementing traits could be crossed to develop productive hybrid coffee varieties.},
