Abstract EST-SSR markers were developed from Pongamia pinnata transcriptome libraries. We have successfully utilised EST-SSRs to study the genetic diversity of Indian P. pinnata germplasms and transferability study on legume plants. P. pinnata is a non-edible oil, seed-bearing leguminous tree well known for its multipurpose benefits and acts as a potential source for medicine and biodiesel preparation. Moreover, the plant is not grazable by animal and wildly grown in different agro climatic condition of India. Recently, it is much used in reforestation and rehabilitation of marginal and coal mined land in different part of India. Due to increasing demand for cultivation, understanding of the genetic diversity is important parameter for further breeding and cultivation program. In this investigation, an attempt has been undertaken to develop novel EST-SSR markers by analyzing the assembled transcriptome from previously published Illumina libraries of P. pinnata, which is cross transferrable to legume plants. Twenty EST-SSR markers were developed from oil yielding and secondary metabolite biosynthesis genes. To our knowledge, this is the first EST-SSR marker based genetic diversity study on Indian P. pinnata germplasms. The genetic diversity parameter analysis of P.

pinnata showed that the Gangetic plain and Eastern India are highly diverse compared to the Central Deccan and Western germplasms. The lowest genetic diversity in the Western region may be due to the pressure of lower precipitation, high-temperature stress and reduced groundwater availability. Nevertheless, the highest genetic diversity of Gangetic plain and Eastern India may be due to the higher groundwater availability, high precipitation, higher temperature fluctuations and growing by the side of glacier-fed river water. Thus, our study shows the evidence of natural selection on the genetic diversity of P. pinnata germplasms of the Indian subcontinent.
