The sstudy of genetic diversity in the Bulgarian raspberry germplasm collection is mainly based on morphological descriptions. Morphological characteristics are important tools but they are not enough for evaluation of the genetic diversity due too the influence of environmental factors and low number of loci studied. Sixteen raspberry cultivars were screened for their polymorphism at four loci using polymorphic microsatellite markers. The value determined for genetic variation demonstrated a high genetic diversity in the Bulgarian raspberry germplasm collection. Genetic diversity (GD) calculated from SSR data ranged from 0,740 to 0,887 with a mean GD-0,839.
