Genetic variation in the emblematic Puya raimondii (Bromeliaceae) from Huascarán National Park, Peru

Abstract

Abstract

Grouping of anthurium genotypes based on genetic and morpho-anatomical features

“…Thus, knowledge of the genetic makeup of access of several species is important to enrich the knowledge of researchers and producers from around the world (Hornung-Leoni et al 2013). …”

Nuevos registros de Puya (Bromeliaceae) en el departamento de Lambayeque, Perú

“…Asimismo, son numerosos los trabajos que señalan estudios sobre las poblaciones, usos y estado de conservación de la especie más representativa del género: Puya raimondii (Aquino et al 2018a, Montesinos 2014, Hornung-Leoni et al 2013b, Salazar-Castillo & Villasante-Benavides 2012, Salazar-Castillo, et al 2010, Hornung-Leoni & Sosa 2004) y además existe el registro de otras especies como parte de la flora de diferentes ecosistemas, que van desde las lomas de poca elevación en los departamentos de La Libertad y Lima (Dillon et. al.…”

Microsatellite markers for the endangered Puya raimondii in Peru

“…The main threats to its survival are anthropogenic fire disturbance, climate change, and declining genetic diversity.To date, accurate and comprehensive studies on the genetic structure of remaining P. raimondii populations are lacking. Although Sgorbati et al (2004) found high levels of genetic similarity among eight populations of P. raimondii in Peru based on a combination of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), cpSSR, and random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses, a high ratio of polymorphic AFLP markers has also been reported for populations from the Huascarán National Park and neighboring areas (Hornung-Leoni et al, 2013). In addition, Vadillo (2011) found significant morphological variation for the number of spines on the leaf apices of plants sampled from 15 populations located in the central and southern part of Peru.…”
