Combining phenotypic and SSR markers to characterize genetic diversity, develop a core collection, and identify elite accessions in Nekemias grossedentata.

Abstract excerpt

Nekemias grossedentata, a perennial woody vine and the primary source of vine tea, is valued for its medicinal and edible properties. Its leaves contain key bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids (notably dihydromyricetin) and polyphenols, which determine the core quality of vine tea. However, overexploitation threatens wild populations, leading to germplasm resource depletion and loss of genetic diversity,...
