The investigation revealed considerable variation in genetic polymorphism and the degree of genetic similarity across the tested accessions, depending on the primers used. The average polymorphism percentage for the collection of 17 potato accessions was 63.3%. In the dendrogram constructed through cluster analysis, which illustrates genetic relatedness based on ISSR data, all studied genotypes were categorized into four clusters. Notably, genotypes from the same geographical origin were consistently grouped within the same cluster. This study has established the effectiveness of utilizing the UBC 857, UBC 823, and UBC 810 primers for exploring the genetic diversity of potatoes.
