Proper cacao ( Theobroma L.) plant genotyping is mandatory for the conservation and use of species genetic resources. A set 15 international standard SSR markers was assumed as universal system. Recently, different SNPs SNP techniques have been exploited in cacao. However, a consensus on which to has not reached yet, driving search new approaches. To validate ddRADseq protocol genotyping, we compared performances population analysis dataset with 7,880 obtained from genotypic data aforementioned set, using 158 plants productive farms gene bank. Four groups were identified STRUCTURE ADMIXTURE softwares data, respectively. Similarities ancestries among these allowed identification analogous pairs individuals, referred as: G1 /G1 , G2 /G2 G3 /G3 G4 /G4 whether SSRs or used. Both marker systems Amelonado Criollo most abundant all samples. Genetic distance matrices both types significantly similar each other according Mantel test (p < 0.0001). PCoA UPGMA clustering mostly confirmed groups. AMOVA F ST pairwise comparison revealed moderate very large differentiation data. diversity parameters (H obs = 0.616, H exp 0.524 PIC 0.544) higher than that (0.288, 0.264, 0.230). In cases, carrying highest proportion (G1 ) had lowest The high congruence results validated employed genotyping. These could provide ways developing SNP-based system much needed studies.
