Origin and domestication of native Amazonian crops. (2010, background): “Genetic analyses confirmed seedling incorporation by detecting high polymorphism in local varieties [24,31,36,38], and by demonstrating that local varieties are polyclonal, with one predominant clone and a set of morphologically similar plants that are genetically different [30,34,39].”
Chemical ecology in coupled human and natural systems: people, manioc, multitrophic interactions and global change (2010, background): “Studies so far have shown that the two groups of varieties are to some extent genetically differentiated for neutral markers (Elias et al. 2004; Mkumbira et al. 2003; Peroni et al. 2007), but owing to the limited geographical scope of these studies this result could have two competing explanations.”
Genetic diversity in Brazilian sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Solanales, Convolvulaceae) landraces assessed with microsatellite markers (2008, background): “Considering that in this region varieties of different species are carried around jointly in a migratory event, it can be expected that the age of the oldest varieties exceeds 75 years, or three generations, as occurs with cassava varieties in this region (Peroni et al., 2007).”
