    Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the genetic diversity of different <i>Suaeda populations</i> collected from Saudi Arabia using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR). Seventeen ISSR primers yielded a reproducible banding pattern, the number of polymorphic bands per primer varied between 5 and 14 with a mean of 8 major bands per primer. UPGMA cluster analysis revealed three distinct clusters; The first cluster comprised <i>Suaeda maritime</i> populations, the second cluster comprised <i>Suaeda vermiculata</i> populations and the third cluster comprised Suaeda aegyptiaca populations. The present findings showed clear differences between plant species but no significant differences were observed among geographical distribution.
