Genetic variability in domesticated Capsicum spp as assessed by morphological and agronomic data in mixed statistical analysis

C. P. Sudré, Gonçalves, L. S. A., Rodrigues, R., Júnior, A. Tdo Amaral, Riva-Souza, E. M., and C. Bento, dosS., Genetic variability in domesticated Capsicum spp as assessed by morphological and agronomic data in mixed statistical analysis, vol. 9, pp. 283-294, 2010.

Capsicum species are very important in Brazil because of economic, cultural and biological factors, and the country is considered to be a diversity center for this genus. Collection and maintenance of the genetic diversity in Capsicum are important to avoid genetic erosion. Besides the identification of species, the characterization and evaluation of accessions maintained in gene banks are of fundamental importance. For this purpose, multivariate methods have become an important tool in the classification of conserved genotypes.
