In the molecular method, Twelve ISSR primers were used and 85 polymorphic bands were obtained. The genetic distances between the ecotypes were expressed by Euclidean coefficients. The genetic variation among alfalfa ecotypes was examined in 16 groups based on the localities, landraces and check cultivars. The highest genetic variations and polymorphisms (H = 0.245, I = 0.366, and 70.59%) were found in Gurpinar localities. As a result, a high genetic diversity was found out among the ecotypes and cultivars of allogamous Medicago sativa L. Keywords : Alfalfa, Medicago sativa, ISSR, genetic diversity
