In this paper we analyzed the genetic diversity of ten accessions of Capsicum sp from the Active Germplasm Bank of Federal University of Piauí based on quantitative morphological descriptors relevant to productivity, as well as for ornamental environments peppers. This analysis was performed using the Tocher clustering methods, hierarchical (UPMGA), with the use of Malahobis away as dissimilarity measure. From the results showed a significant divergence among accessions, and the BAGC 26 access, the species C. baccatum, the most dissimilar in relation to BAGC BAGC 40 and 59, the species C. annuum. The greatest contribution descriptors for genetic divergence of the plants analyzed peppers were wide of fruit, fruit length and weight of the fruit. Despite the germplasm bank of Federal University of Piauí (UFPI) be recent and still have a small number of hits, the data here show significant genetic variability among the materials analyzed, a condition that, although preliminary, favors the implementation of peppers breeding program in the state Piaui.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
