Ficus carica L., present in Italy since ancient times, is represented by numerous cultivars grown both southern and central regions. In recent years, local accessions, as a source of genetic biodiversity, have gained increasing interest for conservation their agronomic characteristics, which are well suited ‘sustainable agriculture’. Based on these considerations, we conducted parallel study combining the analysis (SSRs marker) chemical profiling (polyphenols antioxidant capacity) fig leaves to characterize 15 Tuscany region. A performed using seven SSR oligonucleotide primers successfully allowed discrimination studied, with MFC2, MFC3, LMFC30 exhibiting highest polymorphism. The phytochemical leaves, HPLC-DAD-TOF-MS, revealed 17 phenolic compounds, among caffeic acid derivatives were most abundant. psolaren compound was absent only Gigante di Carmignano cv. antiradical capacity varied cultivars, Perticone, Brogiotto Nero, Paradiso capacity. Additionally, Bianco, Corbo, Dottato, Paradiso, Pecciolo Verdino contained concentrations total sugars. Statistically significant differences observed polyphenol content (values ranging from 14.1 36.6 mgGAE/gDW) flavonoid (ranging 25.7 52.3 mgQE/gDW). terms sugars, sum fructose, glucose, sucrose ranged 20.60 (Bianco Carmignano) 49.24 mg g−1 (Verdino), fructose amounts. conclusion, completely characterized genetically chemically, offering valuable insights strategies agricultural applications.
