The polymorphism level of chili was studied by using ISSR marker. Polymorphism of sixteen chili varieties was evaluated with 15 ISSR primers. These 15 ISSR primers have generated 136 DNA bands, of these 102 bands are polymorphic, with an average of 9.06 bands per primer. The evaluation of the dendrogram obtained by UPGMA demonstrated the differentiation of all the varieties. Four varieties were separated in distinct group in which showed complete correspondence to its observed characters. DNA profile of 16 chili varieties based on ISSR marker revealed the potential of digital fingerprints of all varieties examined.
