| description | Genetic variability studies on species with a pharmacological potential are essential for conserving genetic resources. A genetic characterization of a species can guide efforts to collect and conserve germplasm for future breeding programs. The Croton genus belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family, which has approximately 1,300 species, is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and has a wide range of ethnobotanical and medicinal uses. The aim of this research was to study genetic variability by analyzing sequences of the internal transcribed space region (ITS1 5'-TCCGTAGGGAACCTGCGGC-3' and ITS4 5'-TCCTCCGCTTATGC-3') of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of a Croton population from forested areas in the Department of Norte de Santander in the municipalities of Chinacota, Pamplona and El Zulia. The results indicated considerable genetic variability in the Croton population, with a nucleotide similarity ranging from 54 to 99% and phylogenetical grouping according to the place of origin. The information gained from the ITS region can be a useful parameter for diversity evaluations and phylogenetic studies since there are no similar studies on Croton in this department in northeastern Colombia. |

Los estudios de variabilidad genética de especies con potencial farmacológico son esenciales para la conservación de los recursos genéticos. La caracterización genética de una especie puede guiar los esfuerzos para recolectar y conservar germoplasma para futuros programas de mejoramiento. El género Croton pertenece a la familia Euphorbiaceae, que comprende aproximadamente 1.300 especies, ampliamente distribuidas en regiones tropicales y subtropicales del mundo y se caracteriza por una amplia gama de usos a nivel etnobotánico y medicinal. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar la variabilidad genética a través del análisis de secuencias de la región espaciadora transcrita interna (ITS, del inglés internal transcribed spacer) (ITS1 5'-TCCGTAGGGAACCTGCGGC-3' e ITS4 5'-TCCTCCGCTTATGC-3') del ADN ribosomal (rDNA) de una población de Croton presente en áreas boscosas del departamento de Norte de Santander en los municipios de Chinacota, Pamplona y El Zulia. Los resultados indican que existe una considerable variabilidad genética entre los individuos de la población de Croton con una similitud de nucleótidos que oscila entre el 54 y el 99%, agrupándose filogenéticamente según el lugar de origen. La información generada en este trabajo desde la región ITS es un parámetro útil para la evaluación de la diversidad y los estudios filogenéticos ya que no existen estudios de esta naturaleza en Croton en este departamento del noreste de Colombia.
