Abstract excerpt
The underutilized fruit crop Sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) holds significant potential for genetic improvement owing to its diverse agro-morphological and biochemical traits. In the present study, 70 wild and semi-wild genotypes from the Eastern Plateau region of India were evaluated and characterized in situ to assess their trait diversity, phenotypic variability, and selection potential. A comprehensive...
