Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation A total of 28 alleles were recorded across 8 loci.
- Observation The effective mean number of alleles per locus was 2.3.
- Observation Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.24 to 0.30.
- Observation Expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.22 to 0.26.
- Observation FIS was negative for most loci.
- Observation Principal component and admixture analyses did not reveal population substructure.
- Observation Significant within-population variation was found for most morphological traits of 3-month-old seedlings.
- Observation Some populations differed significantly for one or more traits.
- Observation In general, the populations were phenotypically similar.
- Observation There is little barrier to gene flow between F. albida populations in northern Cameroon.
- Recommendation No single F. albida provenance is likely to be superior for selection and breeding.
