Replication data for: Identification of mango (Mangifera indica L.) landraces from Eastern and Central Kenya using a morphological and molecular approach
<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|> You are a research archivist expert in dataset metadata. Answer the question truthfully.  <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|> Here is the Description of a dataset. Description:'Local mangos (Mangifera indica L.) are highly valued for home consumption in rural Kenya and are regarded by the local population to be comparatively drought tolerant and less susceptible to pests and diseases than the improved varieties. These are characteristics which make them interesting for improvement and breeding purposes. To date, research on Kenyan mangos has mainly focused on introduced and commercial varieties, whereas information on local varieties and landraces is lacking. We present the first comprehensive morphological and molecular characterisation of local mango landraces from Eastern and Central Kenya. Thirty-eight local mango trees were sampled and characterized by 75 selected qualitative (44) and quantitative (31) morphological descriptors selected from the descriptor list developed for mango by Bioversity Internati' . Please return only a json list of at most 3 Keywords corresponding to the Description:.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|> {"Answer" : ["Characterisation","Genetic diversity","Mangifera indica","Morphological descriptor","SSR"]} <|eot_id|>
