Genetic diversity of cultivated Gayo Arabica Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) based on morphological and microsatellite markers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Indonesia is the fourth largest global producer of coffee (Coffea spp.). The primary production centre for Coffea arabica in the country is the Gayo Highlands of Aceh. The Gayo Highlands in Aceh serve as a key arabica coffee-producing region, covering over 100,000 hectares across three districts: Aceh Tengah, Bener Meriah, and Gayo Lues, situated at elevations ranging from 900 to 2,000 m above sea level (asl). Despite the economic significance of Gayo Arabica coffee, studies on its genetic diversity remain limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphological characteristics, particularly those associated with yield, and their genetic diversity.
