  abstract = {{U}ncaria guianensis is native to the {A}mazon and is used traditionally as an anti-inflammatory. {N}atural populations of the species have declined markedly in recent times because of strong anthropic pressure brought about by deforestation and indiscriminate collection. {T}he aim of the present study was to assess the genetic and chemical diversity among eight natural populations of {U}. guianensis located in the {B}razilian states of {A}cre, {A}mapa and {A}mazonas. {A} set of four primer combinations was employed in sequence-related amplified polymorphism ({SRAP}) amplifications of leaf {DNA}, and the fragments were analyzed in an {LI}-{COR} model 4300 {DNA} {A}nalyzer. {G}enetic variability within the populations (81%) was substantially greater than that detected between them (19%). {T}he highest percentage of polymorphic loci (90.21%) and the largest genetic variability were observed in the population located in {M}azagao, {A}mapa. {G}enetic differentiation between populations was high ({F}-st = 0.188) and the studied populations formed three distinct genetic groups ({K} = 3). {T}he population located in {A}ssis {B}rasil, {A}cre, presented the highest average content of the mitraphylline (0.60 mg/g dry weight,). {H}owever, mitraphylline and isomitraphylline not detected in most individuals in the studied populations, and it is questionable whether they should be considered as chemical markers of the species. {T}he genetic data confirm the urgent need for conservation programs for {U}. guianensis, and for further studies aimed at ascertaining the genetic basis and heritability of alkaloid accumulation.},
