Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Descriptors revealed genetic variability among evaluated Heliconia accessions.
- Observation H. psittacorum accessions had the greatest genetic variability.
- Observation The H. psittacorum sample was larger than the H. densiflora sample.
- Observation Molecular characterization grouped one H. densiflora individual with H. psittacorum genotypes.
- Method / resource ISSR markers differentiated closely related H. densiflora and H. psittacorum individuals.
- Recommendation The evaluated materials could maintain local genetic diversity through the local breeding program germplasm bank.
