Multivariate analysis in a genetic divergence study of Psidium guajava

A. M. Nogueira, Ferreira, M. F. S., Guilhen, J. H. S., and Ferreira, A., Multivariate analysis in a genetic divergence study of Psidium guajava, vol. 13, pp. 10657-10668, 2014.

The family Myrtaceae is widespread in the Atlantic Forest and is well-represented in the Espírito Santo State in Brazil. In the genus Psidium of this family, guava (Psidium guajava L.) is the most economically important species. Guava is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries; however, the widespread cultivation of only a small number of guava tree cultivars may cause the genetic vulnerability of this crop, making the search for promising genotypes in natural populations important for breeding programs and conservation.
