Abstract
A neighbor joining dendrogram generated three main clusters which did not show a correlation with the distribution areas of the analyzed genotypes. A Bayesian analysis evidenced a high degree of admixture among the gene pools from the three countries. The low level of diversification among geographical areas reveals that the asexual propagation of selected clones played a major role in the diffusion of the species in the western Mediterranean. The work described in this paper represents the first report of carob genotyping achieved through microsatellite markers.
