Amplification of SSR loci were generated using 17 SSR primers. These SSR primers totally produced 67 alleles ranging from two to six alleles per locus with a mean value of 3.94 alleles per locus. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.507 to 1.000. Maximum genetic similarity was found between Efes-98-Başgül, and among Anadolu-86, Obruk-86, Anadolu-98, Tokak157/37 and Orza-96. Minimum genetic similarity was between Bolayır and Angora. Although SSR markers cannot classify 34 Turkish barley cultivars based on end use, growth habits and row groups, 27 Turkish barley genotypes could be identified uniquely using 17 SSR primers. These results will are useful proves for protecting breeder’s rights and designing new crossings.enBarley ( Hordeum vulgare L.)Genetic discriminationSimple sequence repeatsMolecular markersGenetic similarityArticle2-s2.0-84861921029
