Resumo

The purpose of this study was to quantify the genetic diversity among popcorn genotypes on the market and in the final test phase, suitable for three environments in Brazil, based on 11 agronomic traits and ISSR markers. In the environment Campos dos Goytacazes a more reliable group formation was observed than in the other environments. The molecular data indicated the presence of cultivars recommended in the same group, as in the case of UFVM2 Barão de Viçosa, IAC 125, Zélia and Jade. This result is an appeal to the few popcorn breeders in Brazil to pay particular attention to increase the genetic diversity among breeding programs conducted by public and private institutions in the country. There was virtually no correlation between the distance matrix obtained by the ISSR marker and the matrices obtained by the agronomic data.
