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 and PPL across all populations and loci were 0.29 and 0.42, respectively.
