ISSR diversity in Jatropha curcas germplasm and offspring of selected parentals

This article contains metadata related to the research article “Behavior of genetic diversity in F1 crosses of selected accessions of Jatropha curcas” (Sánchez-Velázquez et al., 2018). The data presented in this article belong to a diversity study using ISSR molecular markers of a J. curcas germplasm collection that includes bred offspring and analysis of similarity between accessions. We tested previously reported primers in PCR assays to obtain a genetic profile of the accessions. These profiles were used to calculate Dice similarities. Similarity between offspring and parentals can be compared either with the maternal side or paternal side.
