The genetic diversity and relationship of sisal were analyzed by fluorescent AFLP technology. AFLP fingerprinting of 40 accessions with eight pairs of Pst I/Mse I primers revealed a total number of 785 unambiguous bands including 507 polymorphic bands, and the polymorphism frequency was 64.58%. Each pair of primers produced 98.13 polymorphic bands on average. The primer P-GAC/M-CAC had the highest polymorphism frequency (78.63%), followed by the primer P-GTG/M-CTC (71.28%). The primer P-GTA/M-CTT had the least polymorphism frequency(52.94%). These show there are abundant diversities about enzyme digestion sites in theaccessions. The similarity coefficient of the 40 accessions ranged from 0.44 to 0.83. The 40 accessions were divided into 4 groups at the similarity coefficient of 0.51. Moreover, some specific bands were detected from the 40 accessions by using 8 pairs of primers, and could be used to distinguish the accessions under test.
