“…The genetic diversity found in the present study contrasts with the levels of chemical diversity found by Nizio et al (2015) for five natural populations of V. curassavica. They detected high chemical diversity in essential oils and the division into five chemical clusters.…”

“…The observed chemical diversity in essential oils can be explained in part by genetic factors. Thus, an option for expanding the genetic diversity of the AGB is the addition of some of the plants identified by Nizio et al (2015) that produced a diversity of oil types. The addition of more ISSR or other molecular markers may identify loci that are associated with the variability seen in essential oil production for different lineages of V. curassavica.…”

“…This shows how important this species is for the pharmaceutical industry. In a study of native populations of V. curassavica in the State of Sergipe, the authors reported a high chemical diversity in essential oils, and five chemical groups were detected (Nizio et al, 2015). This finding, together with the medical importance of the species, and the loss of plant genetic resources due to human activities, highlights the importance of conserving the diversity of this species.…”

ABSTRACT. Varronia curassavica Jacq. is a medicinal and aromatic plant from Brazil with significant economic importance. Studies on genetic diversity in active germplasm banks (AGB) are essential for conservation and breeding programs. The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of V. curassavica accessions of the AGB of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), using inter-simple sequence repeat molecular markers. Twentyfour primers were tested, and 14 were polymorphic and informative, resulting in 149 bands with 97.98% polymorphism. The UPGMA dendrogram divided the accessions into Clusters I and II. Jaccard similarity coefficients for pair-wise comparisons of accessions ranged between 0.24 and 0.78. The pairs of accessions VCUR-001/VCUR-503, VCUR-001/VCUR-504, and VCUR-104/VCUR-501 showed relatively low similarity (0.24), and the pair of accessions VCUR-402/VCUR-403 showed medium similarity (0.78). Twenty-eight accessions were divided into three distinct clusters, according to the STRUCTURE analysis. The genetic diversity of V. curassavica in the AGB of UFS is low to medium, and it requires expansion. Accession VCUR-802 is the most suitable for selection in breeding program of this species, since it clearly represents all of the diversity present in the AGB.

“…This suggests that the differences found may be related mainly to genetic factors, since such plants were subject to the same or very similar environmental conditions. Similar results were found in studies on Varronia curassavica, in which some plants collected in the same municipality were also classified into different clusters (NIZIO et al, 2015).…”
