Nine microsatellite (SSR) markers were used to detect genetic polymorphism in a range from (3 to 6) alleles with (4.33) alleles per marker in average. Six out of nine microsatellite markers gave the PIC values of greater than (0.5). Among them, SSR36 held the highest PIC values of Received: April 08, 2019 (0.691) while MiSHRS39 and MN85 possessed the least PIC values of (0.368) and (0.387) respectively. The genetic Accepted: May 03, 2019 diversity was expressed as unbiased expected heterozygosity (UHe) value with an average of (0.561). The genetic Published: May 05, 2019 relationship was revealed by (UPGMA) dendrogram in a range of (0.69 to 1.00). Based on UPGMA cluster analysis, three main clusters were classified among three different locations.

Myanmar’s gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is estimated to reach the level of middle-income countries by 2030 in case economic reforms and foreign direct investments continue steadily. The Government of Myanmar formulated the "National Comprehensive Development Plan (NCDP)" in 2014 through the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Development, which indicates the development policies of the whole country and presents the guidelines of comprehensive development of all sectors and strategic national development goals. In parallel, the Ministry of Construction (MOC) has been preparing the “Urban and Regional Development Planning Law” to be enacted soon in 2016 in order to support formulating urban development plans within the country systematically and to enforce management system in implementing the plans for local authorities.
