Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is one of the most expensive spices in world. Saffron, prized for its vibrant color, aroma, and taste, essential food industry traditional medicine. Its culinary uses, therapeutic benefits, potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer properties highlight significant importance. genetic diversity has implications cultivation quality. In this study, among 76 saffron accessions, collected from 13 localities Taliouin region Morocco, were evaluated using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. A total 63 polymorphic fragments produced with an average number bands per primer 10.5 10.16, respectively. Most variations localities, revealed by Analysis Molecular Variance, originated within accessions differentiation (81%; p < 0.010). Cluster Analysis, Principal Coordinate (PCoA), population structure confirmed main groups corroborated homogeneity across accessions. fact, close relationships between different locations, showing that there was no relationship divergence geographical locality. This investigation represents a pivotal advance towards fostering sustainable development bolstering economic empowerment farming communities Morocco.
