Don) is distinguished because it is exclusive source of vincristine and vinblastine alkaloids, however they occur in low concentrations in the species. Such alkaloids are used in chemotherapy for the treatment of tumors, leukemias and lymphomas. Therefore, it is essential to develop a breeding program in search of superior genotypes for vincristine and vinblastine production. For this, it is necessary, initially, the study of the preferential reproduction mode of the species for the correct application of the breeding methods. Given the above, this research aimed to study the preferential mode of reproduction in 10 genotypes of periwinkle from the germplasm collection of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, based on the pollen:ovule (P:O) ratio, histochemical pollen, emission and development of pollen tubes in vivo, pollen viability and receptivity of stigma. As well as to estimate genetic diversity using ISSR molecular markers (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) among the analyzed genotypes. To estimate the ratio (P:O), anthers of each flower were excised, and pollen grains were counted under a microscope; ovaries of the same flowers were dissected, and the ovules were counted under stereomicroscope. In the histochemical analysis of pollen grains were used the dyes Sudan IV and the solution I2KI for the detection of lipid and starch, respectively. The emission and development of pollen tubes in vivo were evaluated in flower buds and flowers in anthesis, under fluorescence microscopy, using 0.1% aniline blue fluorochrome. For the pollen viability, in flower buds, the triple solution of Alexander was used and for the receptivity of the stigma was adopted the solution of alpha-naphthyl acetate, in closed flowers and anthesis. In the genotypic analysis, 15 ISSR primers were used. The phenetic matrix was estimated by dissimilarity index of Jaccard and the grouping of the genotypes was performed by UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Groups Method with Arithmetic Mean). The consistency of the clustering pattern was verified through the cophenetic correlation. The results of the ratio (P:O) indicated that eight of the 10 genotypes presented both facultative self-pollinated and facultative cross pollinated (mixed mating). However, two genotypes presented only one mode of reproduction, facultative cross pollinated, in UFRRJ VIN007, and facultative self-pollinated in UFRRJ VIN004. The receptive stigmas and the high pollen viability in flower buds established favorable conditions for the occurrence of cleistogamy. Based on the emission and development of pollen tubes in vivo, it was verified that of the eight genotypres with mixed reproduction mode, six of them had a strong tendency to allogamy and all were self-compatible. It was also verified the occurrence of cleistogamy in 50% of the genotypes. In the case of UFRRJ VIN004 such occurrence was accentuated, which reinforces its tendency to autogamy. However, it was observed that seven genotypes, including UFRRJ VIN007, showed a strong tendency to allogamy. In view of this, a great diversity of reproductive strategies can be observed in periwinkle, since both self-pollinated and allogamy may be present. The high genetic diversity obtained can be explained by the strong tendency to allogamy found in 70% of the analyzed genotypes A vinca (Catharanthus roseus [L.] G. Don) distingue-se por ser fonte exclusiva dos alcaloides vincristina e vimblastina, no entanto ocorrem em baixas concentra??es na esp?cie. Tais alcaloides s?o utilizados em quimioter?picos para o tratamento de tumores, leucemias e linfomas. Sendo assim, ? fundamental desenvolver um programa de melhoramento gen?tico na busca de gen?tipos superiores quanto a produ??o de vincristina e vimblastina. Para isso, ? necess?rio, inicialmente, o estudo do modo de reprodu??o preferencial da esp?cie para a aplica??o correta dos m?todos de melhoramento. Diante do exposto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar o modo de reprodu??o preferencial em 10 gen?tipos de vinca da cole??o de germoplasma da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, com base na rela??o p?len:?vulo (P:O), histoqu?mica dos gr?os de p?len, emiss?o e desenvolvimento de tubos pol?nicos in vivo, viabilidade pol?nica e receptividade do estigma. Bem como estimar a diversidade gen?tica via marcadores moleculares ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) entre os gen?tipos analisados. Para estimar a raz?o (P:O), anteras de cada flor foram excisadas, e os gr?os de p?len foram contados sob microsc?pio; ov?rios das mesmas flores foram dissecados, e os ?vulos foram contados sob estereomicrosc?pio. Na an?lise histoqu?mica dos gr?os de p?len utilizou-se os corantes Sudan IV e a solu??o de I2KI para detec??o de lip?deo e amido, respectivamente. A emiss?o e desenvolvimento de tubos pol?nicos in vivo foram avaliados em bot?es florais e flores na antese, em microscopia de fluoresc?ncia, utilizando-se o fluorocromo azul de anilina a 0,1%. Para a viabilidade pol?nica, em bot?es florais, empregou-se a solu??o tripla de Alexander e para a receptividade do estigma adotou-se a solu??o de acetato de alfa-naftil, em flores fechadas e na antese. Na an?lise genot?pica foram utilizados 15 primers ISSR. A matriz fen?tica foi estimada pelo ?ndice de dissimilaridade de Jaccard e o agrupamento dos gen?tipos foi realizado via UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Groups Method with Arithmetic Mean). Verificou-se a consist?ncia do padr?o de agrupamento atrav?s da correla??o cofen?tica. Os resultados da rela??o (P:O) indicaram que oito, dos 10 gen?tipos, apresentaram, simultaneamente, autogamia facultativa e alogamia facultativa (modo de reprodu??o misto). Por?m, dois gen?tipos apresentaram somente um modo de reprodu??o, al?gamo facultativo, no UFRRJ VIN007, e aut?gamo facultativo no UFRRJ VIN004. Os estigmas receptivos e a elevada viabilidade pol?nica em bot?es florais estabeleceram condi??es favor?veis para a ocorr?ncia da cleistogamia. Com base na emiss?o e desenvolvimento de tubos pol?nicos in vivo, constatou-se que dos oito gen?tipos com modo de reprodu??o misto, seis deles tiveram forte tend?ncia a alogamia e todos foram autocompat?veis. Verificou-se tamb?m a ocorr?ncia da cleistogamia em 50% dos gen?tipos. No caso, do UFRRJ VIN004 tal ocorr?ncia foi acentuada, o que refor?a a sua tend?ncia a autogamia. Entretanto, observou-se que sete gen?tipos, incluindo o UFRRJ VIN007, exibiram forte tend?ncia a alogamia. Diante disso, percebe-se grande diversidade de estrat?gias reprodutivas em vinca, j? que tanto a autofecunda??o quanto a alogamia podem estar presentes. A alta diversidade gen?tica obtida pode ser explicada pela forte tend?ncia a alogamia constatada em 70% dos gen?tipos analisados
