Abstract European hazelnut ( Corylus avellana ) is an anemophilous, dichogamous, self-incompatible tree nut species. It is native to a large portion of Europe, Turkey, and the Caucasus region, across which a wealth of plant genetic resources is present. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of a core set of C. avellana representing the world’s germplasm using genotyping-by-sequencing derived single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and to classify novel eastern fi
