This study shows the results obtained using the AFLPs of &lt;em&gt;M. roreri&lt;/em&gt;. The kit for analysis system II was standardized and applied to 56 samples of &lt;em&gt;M. roreri&lt;/em&gt;, isolated from nine municipalities. The combination with the highest number of polymorphisms was E-ACC/M-CAA. With 90 bands and a smaller number of alleles (6), the E-ACG/M-CAA combination yielded 90 bands and a larger number of alleles (23); the E-AAC/M-CAA combination had 94 bands and alleles (12). The data analysis was carried out according to the dendrogram of similarity or genetic distances of Nei, obtaining five groups with a high variability between samples, from 6.5 to 58%. By combining the morphological and molecular information, the level of genetic diversity in &lt;em&gt;Moniliophthora roreri&lt;/em&gt; was determined.}, number={2}, journal={Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas}, author={Suárez-Contreras, Liliana Yanet}, year={2018}, month={Jan.}, pages={425–434} }
