n, size of the group; A, number of alleles; A%, percentage of alleles with respect to the total number of alleles observed within wild and cultivated samples (427 alleles); Ho, observed heterozygosity; He, unbiased expected heterozygosity; Fis, inbreeding coefficient; Ar, allelic richness; 1estimated based on standardized sample size of G = 410; 2estimated based on standardized sample size of G = 50. Letters (a, b, c, and d) represent significance groupings after a Mann–Whitney pairwise comparison test ().
