Range of polymorphic bands per primer was 6 in ISSR 15 to 1 in ISSR 7
Marker ISSR 15 had the highest PIC value of 0.44 whereas marker ISSR 1 had the lowest PIC of 0.13.
The level of polymorphisms in papaya is ranging from of 2 to 6 alleles per primer pair in 73 papaya accessions.
This may be due to cross pollination and wide geographical diversity from which the papaya accessions were collected
