  abstract = {{D}espite being the center of origin and genetic diversity, there has beenlimited application of molecular markers in arabica coffee breeding in{E}thiopia. {I}n this study, the extent of genetic diversity and relationships of48 elite breeding lines of arabica coffee from different geographical originswere evaluated using 14 {SSR} markers. {T}he {SSR} markers amplified 105 alleles ofwhich 104 are polymorphic with an average of 7.4 polymorphic alleles per locus.{T}he average percent of polymorphism and {P}olymorphic {I}nformation {C}ontent ({PIC})of the {SSR} markers were 98.81 and 0.79, respectively. {T}he average geneticsimilarity coefficient among all possible pairs was 0.37 and ranged from 0.39to 0.46 within the same geographical origin. {T}he {U}nweighted {P}air {G}roup {M}ethod{U}sing {A}rithmetic averages ({UPGMA}) cluster analysis placed the studied breedinglines into seven clusters with {J}accard's similarity coefficient of <0.44.{T}he results of this study demonstrated the powerfulness of the {SSR} markers andthe presence of a high level of genetic diversity and wide geneticdissimilarity within and among elite breeding lines from the same and differentgeographical origins. {T}he observed diversity could be utilized in the breedingprogram to improve productivity and maintain the typical quality profile oforigin-based landrace coffees. {T}he {SSR} markers could be used in future geneticanalysis of arabica coffee germplasm to increase the efficiency of the breedingprogram in {E}thiopia. {T}he studied breeding lines could also be conserved andmanaged as an important source of genetic variability to be used in the futurecoffee improvement program.},
