Genetic variation and risks of introgression in the wild <i><scp>C</scp>offea arabica</i> gene pool in south‐western <scp>E</scp>thiopian montane rainforests
18 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
The montane rainforests of SW Ethiopia are the primary centre of diversity of Coffea arabica and the origin of all Arabica coffee cultivated worldwide. This wild gene pool is potentially threatened by forest fragmentation and degradation, and by introgressive hybridization with locally improved coffee varieties. We genotyped 703 coffee shrubs from unmanaged and managed coffee populations, using 24 microsatellite...
