Selection of Myrciaria dubia clones under conditions of the savanna/forest transition of Roraima through multivariate analysis ; Selección de clones de Myrciaria dubia en condiciones de transición sabana/bosque en Roraima mediante análisis multivariado

Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia), a fruit from the Amazon region, has received attention due to its high content of antioxidant compounds such as ascorbic acid and polyphenols. This study’s objective was to select camu-camu clones according to their morphological characteristics using multivariate analyses. We evaluated 56 camu-camu clones distributed in three blocks with two plants per experimental plot. The variables measured were plant height (H), number of basal branches (NBB), number of terminal buds (NTB), basal stem diameter (BSD), chlorophylls a (Chl a) and b (Chl b), and total chlorophyll...
