  abstract = {{A}mplified fragment length polymorphism ({AFLP}) markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and explore the genetic relationship among accessions of {A}cmella uliginosa and {J}usticia tenella, two leaf vegetables collected from different areas in the northwest and northeast parts of {B}enin ({W}est {A}frica). {T}he total number of exploitable amplicons revealed with genomic {DNA} from {A}. uliginosa was 224 with an average of 50.5% polymorphic amplicons. {U}sing {DNA} from {J}. tenella, we obtained 34% of polymorphic amplicons from a total of 418. {T}he coefficient of dissimilarity varied from 0.01 to 0.67 and from 0.17 to 0.62 for {A}cmella and {J}usticia, respectively. {L}ow genetic diversity was observed among {A}cmella accessions although three distinct clusters could be differentiated. {C}ontrarily, a great genetic diversity was observed among {J}. tenella accessions. {I}n addition to this, most of the clusters were heterogeneous and showed the relationship between accessions collected from northeast and northwest. {O}ur results confirm the robustness of {AFLP} techniques for genetic diversity studies and they provide the first set of molecular data for these two species.},
