Hawthorn (Cratageus monogyna Jacq.), one of the important wild fruit species in Turkey, is an many countries due to its use traditional medicine, landscaping studies, and food beverage industry. In this study, morphological characterization revealed significant variation among genotypes, with weight ranging from 0.55 g 2.87 g, width 9.74 mm 18.39 mm, leaf 19.53 41.19 mm. Genotype-dependent variations were observed total phenolic content (151.34 mg–491.88 mg GAE 100 g−1 flesh), flavonoid (16.74–48.13 CAE anthocyanin (26.34–79.79 cyn-3 gluc antioxidant activity (29.20% 56.70%). HPLC-based profiling identified substantial key bioactive compounds, highest levels chlorogenic acid (16.16 fw), caffeic (10.21 epicatechin (13.83 rutin (74.05 protocatechuic (2.00 fw). ISSR marker-based molecular analysis a high degree genetic polymorphism (89.12%), 55 out 62 bands classified as polymorphic. The polymorphic information values ranged 0.34 0.44. Jaccard similarity coefficient 0.04 (M9 M16) 0.63 (M17 M3), indicating variability. tanglegram comparing morphological–biochemical dendrograms yielded entanglement score 0.714, alignment between phenotypic data. These findings show that hawthorn genotypes Kelkit Valley exhibit extensive biochemical diversity, which critical for conservation efforts, breeding programs, development high-value medicinal functional products.
