Abstract
ABSTRACT The evaluation of accessions in a germplasm bank is essential for determining the potential parents in conservation programs, especially for native trees. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity among 68 Amburana cearensis genotypes from different locations in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Their genetic patterns were evaluated by Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) molecular markers and genetic divergence was evaluated through multivariate analyses using different clustering methods. The optimization method used (Tocher) was in agreement with all the hierarchical models used, in which clustering of the genotypes occurred similarly, specifically for the accession BB116, which is an important genetic material to be preserved and studied. Among the various hierarchical methods applied, the Average Linkage method exhibited higher discrimination power, allowing identification of a larger number of divergent groups, thus implying wide genetic diversity among A. cearensis accessions.

Summary
C. Smith (Fabaceae) or amburana is a tree native to the Caatinga (Brazilian xeric shrubland and thorn forest) with multiple uses, such as lumber; medicinal uses, attributed to coumarin, the active ingredient present in bark and roots; ornamental use; reforestation in agroforestry systems (Pimentel and Guerra, 2015); and forage.

It has sexual propagation and a considerable percentage of germination (Angelim et al, 2007)
