Genetic structure of a Colombian cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) collection by means of microsatellite markers

The cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.), a fruit species cultivated in the Andes, is one of the major fruit exports of Colombia. We hypothesized that the Andean cordilleras in Colombia play a role in structuring the genetic diversity of this crop. For addressing this hypothesis, a set of 85 Colo...
