We selected a informative set of twelve amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primer pairs suitable for evaluation of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) genotypes. Cluster analysis based on 198 polymorphic AFLP amplified by these 12 primer pairs clearly divided investigated genotypes according to their place of origin. We showed, that genetic basis of modern genotypes is narrow also in the case of this species.
