ABSTRACT
The current study is the first worldwide to assess the genetic diversity of Kadaknath poultry using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Out of total 96 accessions, four were outliers and 92 were Kadaknath accessions of which 30 were males, 62 were females. Of these, 74 were jet black, 7 penciled and 11 were golden feather color type of Kadaknath. High level of polymorphism (23.94%) was observed in 387 loci amplified using six AFLP primer combinations. The Jaccard's similarity coefficient ranged from 0.211 to 0.754 with an average dissimilarity of 0.517. Based on the neighbor-joining method of clustering, all accessions were clustered into seven major clusters which were not consistent with their respective geographical locations. The mean values of effective multiplex ratio, polymorphic information content, resolving power and marker index were 15.16, 0.38, 9.87 and 5.85 respectively. Further, the high log-likelihood score was produced when the number of populations (K) was set at 7 while carrying out the population STRUCTURE analysis, which was also congruent with clustering analysis based on genetic diversity. The extent of genetic diversity detected in this study could be used for germplasm selection and developing conservation strategies of pure breed of Kadaknath.
