Methods and Results: We developed 69 microsatellite markers and, in conjunction with assessments of cross-amplifi cation using primers available from the literature, present 43 new polymorphic microsatellite loci for three species of Passiflora. The mean number of alleles per locus was 3.1, and the mean values of the expected and observed levels of heterozygosity were 0.406 and 0.322, respectively. Conclusions: These microsatellite markers will be valuable tools for investigating the genetic diversity and population structure of wild and commercial species of passion fruit ( Passiflora spp.) and may be useful for developing conservation and improvement strategies by contributing to the understanding of the mating system and hybridization within the genus.  aGenetic markers  aGenetic variation  aPassiflora  aGene marcador  aMaracujá  aMarcador genético  aMarcador molecular  aVariação genética1 aSANTOS, E.
