“…In this study, it was slightly more than 24% (mean N e ( v ) t / N = 86.6/359), likely due to high pollen donor number at peak flowering season. The progeny trials at INPA ( Alves-Pereira et al , 2012 ; Clement et al , 2012 ) and Embrapa ( Kalil Filho et al , 2010 ; Clement et al , 2012 ) in Brazil, and in Peru ( Cornelius et al , 2006 ) are adequately dimensioned to handle genetic conservation based on these estimates. The major peach palm germplasm collections in Brazil (375 accessions, with a maximum of 9 plants/accession) and Costa Rica (1,200 accessions with 9 plants) do not have the requisite numbers even of this important landrace, and have much smaller numbers of other landraces; all other collections are smaller ( Mora Urpí et al , 1997 ; Graefe et al , 2013 ).…”
