Fig tree is fruit species, widely distributed throughout the Adriatic region, and is valued as a key component of the Mediterranean diet. Despite its importance for the region’s fruit-growing industry, the genetic makeup of Adriatic fig cultivars has not yet been thoroughly investigated. A comprehensive molecular characterization of 213 fig accessions from the Eastern Adriatic Coast was conducted to assess genotype-specific molecular profiles and genetic diversity using seven Simple Sequence Rep
