Abstract. A collection of apple accessions was tested with SSR primers. The genetic-relatedness dendrogram was concordant with known pedigree information. The analysed markers proved to be very useful for managing apple germplasm collections.

Summary
A collection of 45 Malus × domestica accessions, from the Warsaw Agricultural University experimental station, was tested using eight SSR markers. Pairwise distance was calculated between the accessions from which a phenogram based on unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) cluster analysis was constructed. The genetic-relatedness dendrogram was concordant with known pedigree information. These SSR markers proved to be a very informative tool that can be very useful for managing apple ex situ germplasm collections.
