Morpho-agronomic and molecular characterization of the ‘Arrayana’ mandarin in the piedmont of the Meta department (Colombia)
Due to the absence of varietal information for the tangerine (Citrus reticulata L.) ‘Arrayana’ in the piedmont plains of Meta (Colombia), morpho-agronomic and molecular characterization of 10-year-old commercial tangerine trees was carried out at the Research Center La Libertad of Corpoica in Villavicencio (Meta). Descriptors suggested by the International Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) were used for the morphological description, while for molecular characterization, we used the AFLP type molecular markers technique. The molecular variation detected by AFLP showed the same fragments for each of the accessions in ten individuals of the tangerine ‘Arrayana’, identifying genetically identical individuals, forming a group; which might be related to clonal propagation and nucellar features. Similarly, we detected uniform morpho-agronomic traits related to major horticultural characteristics, which indicates levels of homogeneity for classifying the population as a variety.
