Abstract
Physical and chemical mutagen studies on experimental of mutagenesis in Jatropha curcas are limited.The study wasaimed to estimate the
genetic diversity on J. curcas mutants using RAPD. Eighteenmutants resulted from colchicine treatment and one wild type of J. curcaswere
used in this study. Dendrogram derived from UPGMA clustering analysis using simple matching coefficient of RAPD markerindicate thatthe
eighteenmutants and one wild type were divided into three major groups consist of three, eight and seven genotypes respectively. The study
reveals genetic diversity within mutants of J. Curcas based on RAPD fingerprinting techniques.
