Abstract :
Fruits from natural populations of wild jujube (Ziziphus lotus L. Desf.) collected from Algeria were evaluated through morphological and molecular markers. The analysis of variance revealed very highly significant differences for all the morphological characters studied (P 0.001) with coefficients of variation ranging from 7.57% to 31.84% indicating a strong variation between populations. The analysis of genetic diversity between Ziziphus lotus populations using 35 ISSR primers showed a moderate polymorphism (61.31%), a polymorphism information content of 0.35, a resolving power of 2.51 and a marker index of 0.79. Cluster analysis using SM model, classify the nine populations in two main clusters. This classification seems independent to climate change.
