Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were used to investigate the variations between drought sensitive and drought tolerant genotypes. Patterns obtained using RM328 and RM302 detected polymorphism between T14, T15 and Amber33, Amber Baghdad genotypes and those obtained using RM316 and RM201 for the tested genotypes suggested that these primers may have the ability to produce drought tolerance markers. According to the patterns obtained using RM189, RM3825 and RM212 primers indicated that these primers cannot be relied on as markers for drought tolerance.
