Abstract Passiflora edulis it is a specie widely distributed and cultivated in Colombia, with economic potential. Although there is a wide genetic and phenotypic variability, it has not yet been explored through the use of molecular techniques. This study aimed to characterize the structure and genetic diversity of P. edulis cultivars using ISSR markers. The study was carried out using leaf samples from 21 cultivars of P. edulis collected within a productive system in the department of Boyacá, Colombia, using seven ISSR primers. Genetic similarity was used to cluster by the UPGMA method, polymorphic information content (PIC), expected heterozygosity (He), Shannon index (I), gene flow (Nm), and coefficient of genetic differentiation (Gst) were estimated using POPGENE and TFPGA software. The Bayesian model and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were used to assess the genetic structure. Cultivars of P. edulis showed high polymorphism rates. Seven ISSR produced 138 loci. The cluster analysis formed two groups according to the genetic similarity and phenotypic characteristics associated mainly with the fruit. The average value of expected heterozygosity was 0.29 for the total population and 0.27 and 0.22 for groups I and II, respectively. AMOVA indicates higher diversity within groups, but not between groups showing levels of hierarchy different from those considered in this study. Moderate genetic differentiation (Gst=0.12) and high gene flow (Nm=3.91) are observed.
