| Abstract: | Fig tree is fruit species, widely distributed throughout the Adriatic region, and is valued as a key component of the Mediterranean diet. Despite its importance for the region’s fruit-growing industry, the genetic makeup of Adriatic fig cultivars has not yet been thoroughly investigated. A comprehensive molecular characterization of 213 fig accessions from the Eastern Adriatic Coast was conducted to assess genotype-specific molecular profiles and genetic diversity using seven Simple Sequence Repeat markers. Aim of this research was to catalogue the cultivars and clarify cases of synonymy and homonymy. The research included three genebank collections: the Institute of Adriatic Crops in Split (Croatia), the Institute of Agriculture and Tourism in Poreč (Croatia), and the Centre for Subtropical Cultures Bar, Biotechnical Faculty University of Montenegro, alongside additional accessions collected from family farms and nursery in Croatia and Slovenia. The analysis revealed 122 alleles, indicating substantial genetic diversity. A total of 80 unique genotypes were identified, along with 51 cases of synonymy or homonymy and 24 accessions with unknown nomenclature. The phylogenetic tree highlighted the heterogeneous nature of the fig population along the East Adriatic Coast. Notably, each of the three major clusters contained accessions from all three countries, underscoring the high genetic diversity across the region. These defined molecular profiles provide a foundation for the effective conservation of fig cultivars, the establishment of high-quality mother blocks, nursery production, and future breeding programs. |
