English Abstract

This study shows the diversity and genetic relations among 8 species belong to the genus Iris L.

growing wildly in Iraq by using RAPD-PCR technique.

This study included Genomic DNA extraction from dry leaves of plants by useing 5 random primers that produced several polymorphic bands among the 8 tested species, in addition the genetic fingerprint were identified for all species by emergence many of unique bands .

The genetic distance between species was determined as it ranged from 0.10 to 0.97, as well as the use of cluster analysis to build the genetic diversity tree which formed two main groups based on their ancestors, morphological and anatomical specifications, which depending on the results of this study and the results of other studies as anatomy and pollen were recorded a new species in Iraq within this genus is Iris madonna Dykes.
