In this research 149 accessions were divided into 7
groups, whereas there are different sources of germ-
plasms scattered in different groups, which implied
that there was distinct genetic variations and certain
genetic similarities existed in the collection. The
group one contains 26 populations, of which 50% re-
leased cultivars, 16.67% foreign varieties and 12.87%
landraces. The highest proportion of effective alleles
to alleles was 92.96%, Shannon’s information index
was 0.027 8, and the average genetic distance was very
smaller among populations.The group two contains 24
populations, of which 18.81% landraces and being
13.89% foreign varieties. The proportion of effective
alleles to alleles was 89.58%, and Shannon’s informa-
tion index was 0.065 9. The third group three contains
20 populations, of which 16.83% landraces, 5.56% for-
eign varieties and 8.33% released cultivars. The propor-
tion of effective alleles to alleles was 84.47%, and Shan-
non’s information index was 0.124 0, and the largest
