The objective of this research was to evaluate the variability and genetic structure of 180 accessions of Peruvian quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) from INIA gene banks, through morphological and molecular characterization. On one hand, a selection of quinoa descriptors from the Bioversity International list was applied and on the other hand, five molecular microsatellite primers were used for the molecular description. The data were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate techniques. The morphological results showed morpho-phenological variation among the accessions coming from Altiplano and Valley Interandino. A principal component analysis (PCA) was done, where the first component (CP1) explained (53.2 percernt) of variation and ordered accessions according to a gradient of plant size and yield. The CP2 explained 16.2 percent of the variation and separated precocious and belated accessions. Moreover, a cluster analysis showed a grouping pattern (three groups), consistent with the distribution of accessions axes one and two in the PCA, with different morpho-phenological characteristics. The molecular results revealed that all SSR loci analyzed were highly polymorphic detecting a total of 20 alleles among all accessions with an average of two alleles per locus. Genetic variability showed a range of heterozygosity between 0.64 and 0.94 for all loci and all accessions were polymorphic. The Principal Coordinates analysis also showed a clustering pattern consistent with the distribution of accessions in the PCA and grouped accessions of Valley Interandino and Altiplano. The AMOVA analyzes showed low genetic structure among populations (Fst=0.08). The characterized germplasm presented slight genetic structure. In spite of this, the accessions were ordered in two groups Altiplano and Valle Interandino.
