Genetic Diversity of Arabica Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) in Nicaragua as Estimated by Simple Sequence Repeat Markers

Table 1

List of 26 arabica coffee populations used in this study representing eight coffee varieties in Nicaragua, and their geographic descriptions and SSR-based estimates of gene diversity (𝐻_Loci) and percent polymorphic loci (PPL).

^aCalculated based on the eight polymorphic loci; ^bpopulation B2 has a unique allele at the locus Cam35; ^cpopulation B3 has a unique allele at the locus Sat207; ^dpopulation CT6 has a unique allele at the locus SSR03; ^epopulation CA3 has a unique allele at the locus Sat207; ^fpopulation CM4 has a unique allele at the locus Sat207. Note: variety names and their corresponding mean genetic diversity values are shown in bold; populations listed above each variety belong to that variety; the overall mean 𝐻_Loci and PPL across all populations and loci were 0.29 and 0.42, respectively.
