Abstract:IntroductionAvocado (Persea americana) is a highly nutritious fruit gaining worldwide popularity. However, its cultivation is currently reliant on a limited number of cultivars with restricted genetic diversity. This study aims to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of avocado germplasm and identify genetic loci associated with key fruit quality traits that influence customer preference.MethodsA diversity panel of 110 avocado accessions was analyzed using 4,706 high-quality single nucleo… Show more
