F. dos  aISSR Markers as a Tool for the Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Passiflorah[electronic resource]  c2011  aGenetic variation among sweet, purple, and yellow passion fruit accessions was assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Eighteen ISSR primers were used to evaluate 45 accessions. The number of poly- morphic bands per primer varied from 4 to 22, with 12.4 bands per primer on average. Nei?s genetic distance between accessions ranged from 0.04 to 0.35. Clustering using the neighbor-joining method resulted in the formation of 11 major clusters. It was not possible to classify the accessions according to their geographic origin, showing that there is no structure in the gene bank. The overall mean Shannon?Weaver diversity index was 0.32, indicating good resolution of genetic diversity in passion fruit germplasm using ISSR markers. Our results indicate that ISSR can be useful for genetic diversity studies, to provide practical information for parental selection and to assist breeding and conservation strategies.  aMaracujá  aMarcadores moleculares  aRecursos genéticos  aVariabilidade genética1 aOLIVEIRA, E.
