Genetic diversity and population structure of sugarcane introgressed hybrids by SSR markers.

One hundred and seventy two introgressed hybrids from four different introgression groups and in three nobilized stages (F, BC,and BC) involving two genera viz., Sugarcane ( s) and ,and Coimbatore (Commercials) clones were studied for yield and quality traits, and as well with 30 SSR markers (simple sequence repeats) for diversity and population structure. The yield and quality components of the introgressed hybrids from improved , improved , (Pathri) and (IK-76-76) showed significant variation.
