Genomic Differentiation, Diversity, and Genetic Structuring of <i>Euterpe edulis</i> Mart. Morphotype in Espirito Santo, Brazil.

ABSTRACT: The genomic knowledge of Euterpe edulis populations with morphological and genetic variations is relevant to species preservation, management, conservation, and improvement. This study aimed to identify genomic differences related to the morphological variants of Euterpe edulis in Espírito Santo (ES). We used 114 Euterpe edulis individuals, which represent different morphotypes, named: Santa Marta, Hybrid_EO (Vargem Alta); Euterpe espiritosantensis (Santa Teresa), Tiller (Guarapari); Possible hybrid (Fundão); characteristic of E. edulis (E. edulis_RN, E. edulis_MI, E. edulis_GUA, and E. edulis_ALE). The study also included 35 individuals from divergent genetic groups in natural populations from the southeast, north, south, and
