The knowledge about genetic variability and relationship among Indian cherry accessions is an important issue to maximize the use of genetic resources in a breeding program. The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic diversity of 56 Indian cherry genotypes from the seed garden and clone collection of Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical using ISSR as molecular markers and to evaluate their reaction to infection by Lasiodiplodia theobromae. In order to evaluate genetic relationship among Indian cherry genotypes the genetic distance was calculated based on ISSR data. A distance matrix was obtained based on the Jaccard index of arithmetic complement which was used to construct a phylogram tree with all 56 acessions. The tree was constructed using the hierarchical method, the unweight pair-grouped (UPGMA) generated tree and the optimizing Tocher method. To identify resistant/susceptible genotypes to L. theobromae, it was developed a drill method of inoculation the fungus into the woody tissue of the plant stem. The work was carried out under greenhouse conditions with six genotypes. Disease occurrence was observed 15 days after inoculation by observing lesion presence and measuring lesion length. Data on the genetic diversity showed that three genotypes, numbered 36, 46 (Okinawa) and 47 (Barbados) were the most divergent among all 56 studied. Crossings between 36 (12/7/15) x 32 (68/1/15), 36 (12/7/15) x 31 (68/1/14), 47 (Barbados) x 2 (8/4/8), 47 (Barbados) x 23 (79/10/9), 46 (Okinawa) x 32 (68/1/15) and 46 (Okinawa) x 36 (12/7/15) may yield favorable genetic combinations allowing a transgressive genotype selection. In the search to identify potentially resistant genotypes, the accessions 13 (47/5/2), 32 (68/1/15) and 36 (12/7/15) attained high level resistance. As a conclusion, it was possible to estimate genetic variability and resistant genotypes to L. theobromae in the Indian cherry population. These results may provide valuable information for the breeding program in the near future.
