Background Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. is a short-lived perennial cool-season legume used for forage production. It is a common native species in Asia Minor, especially in Turkey, the districts of the Caucasus, and the Caspian fringes. It can grow well in a broad range of climatic and soil types found in Asia, Europe, and North America. It is a non-bloating crop, making it suitable for use in both hay and pasture. Methods and results The aim was to assess the diversity of the 83 sainfoin genotypes selected based on their high agronomic performance from a germplasm collection evaluated in the experimental field of Tekirdag Namik Kemal University, Turkey. Ten nuclear simple sequence repeat (nSSR) primers (OVK036, OVK046, OVK094, OVK101, OVK125, OVK161, OVK174, OVM033, OVM061, and OVM125) were used in the study. All nSSR loci were found to be polymorphic and totally 92 alleles were detected. The mean observed number of alleles per locus was calculated as 9.2. Among the genetic diversity parameters, Shannon Index (I = 0.375), unbiased genetic diversity value (uh = 0.243), and mean polymorphic information content (PIC = 0.240) were calculated. The genetic distance value varied between 0.43 and 0.95. Based on the dendrogram built by the UPGMA clustering method using genetic distance values, it was observed that the studied sainfoin genotypes were divided into two main clusters, whereas the STRUCTURE analysis results had high support for three clusters. Conclusions The results obtained from this study provide important information on the genetic structures of the studied sainfoin genotypes and their genetic relationship. Therefore acquired genetic data will be useful in designing more efficient polycross nurseries, allowing open pollination of best performing and genetically diverse genotypes in the isolated conditions, which will increase genetic gain in sainfoin breeding programs.
